Covered activities include humanitarian aid, democracy building, education, non-commercial development projects, environmental protection, and disarmament/peacebuilding programs. The authorizing NGO must not itself be a blocked person under E.O. 14098. Specific licenses may also be issued on a case-by-case basis for additional civilian-benefit activities not covered by this general license.

  • Democracy building (rule of law, citizen participation, government accountability and transparency, human rights and fundamental freedoms, access to information, civil society development projects)
  • Education support (combating illiteracy, increasing access to education, international exchanges, assisting education reform projects)
  • Non-commercial development projects directly benefitting civilians (health, food security, water and sanitation)
  • Environmental and natural resource protection (preservation of threatened or endangered species, responsible management of natural resources, remediation of pollution or other environmental damage)
  • Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programs and peacebuilding, conflict prevention, and conflict resolution programs
