New award obligating $4,500,000 in vietnam. See terms and conditions and statement of objectives below

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs awarded Norsk Folkehjelp a $4.5 million Project Grant under the Weapons Removal and Abatement program (CFDA 19.800) on December 1, 2025, with a completion date of February 16, 2027. Norsk Folkehjelp, a Norwegian non-profit organization specializing in international humanitarian weapons abatement, will deliver conventional weapons elimination activities in Vietnam focused on reducing threats to civilian security from landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other at-risk weapons in post-conflict regions.

The grant supports humanitarian demining and explosive ordnance disposal operations aligned with the Weapons Removal and Abatement program's core objectives of enabling contaminated land to return to productive use while enhancing civilian safety. Based on Norsk Folkehjelp's established expertise across multiple countries and prior awards under this program, the Vietnam project will likely encompass activities such as mine and ordnance clearance, risk education, and capacity-building support to host nation authorities to sustain post-conflict recovery and security outcomes.
