State sub · THE HALO TRUST ← THE HALO TRUST USA, INC — $15.0M
Key claim: The Department of State is passing $15.0M through The HALO Trust USA, Inc. to The HALO Trust for unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance in Savannakhet Province, Laos.
Abstract
THE HALO TRUST received $15.0M as a sub-award (pass-through) from prime recipient THE HALO TRUST USA, INC (prime award SPMWRA25CA0015), under Department of State funding. LAOS – UXO CLEARANCE IN SAVANNAKHET PROVINCE
Why this matters
UXO clearance is a long-running component of U.S. security and humanitarian assistance in Southeast Asia, addressing the legacy of Vietnam War-era ordnance that continues to cause civilian casualties in Laos. Tracking prime-to-sub flows through implementers like The HALO Trust clarifies how State channels demining funds to operational NGOs and where clearance activity is geographically concentrated.
