Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2008 Funding Opportunity Announcement for PRM Programs that Target Prevention of and Response to Gender Based Violence (GBV) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity offered by the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). The funding is intended for overseas assistance programs that prevent and respond to gender based violence, including sexual abuse and exploitation, affecting refugees and refugee returnees. A central point in the announcement is that PRM's primary mandate is refugee and returnee assistance, so proposals must be built around clear, direct benefits to those groups. Projects may also touch other vulnerable populations, but applicants are expected to make a specific, credible case showing how PRM's core beneficiary populations are served.
Awards are made under a Cooperative Agreement, which generally implies a closer working relationship with the U.S. government than a standard grant, often including substantial programmatic involvement or oversight by the funding agency. The funding range listed is an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $400,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the opportunity. The program is tied to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 19.522, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities, reflecting PRM's focus on refugee protection and humanitarian response.
Eligibility is limited to two categories of applicants: (1) U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and (2) International Organizations. The announcement also notes that responses from International Organizations are subject to PRM's established authorities and procedures for voluntary contributions, signaling that the process and mechanisms may differ somewhat from those used with NGO applicants.
PRM signals that proposals will be judged heavily on demonstrated capacity and coordination. Priority is given to organizations that can show a proven track record in GBV prevention and response and that already have an established presence in the country or countries where they propose to work. PRM also emphasizes correct beneficiary targeting and strong coordination with UNHCR and other relevant actors, including host governments where appropriate. A particularly important preference is evidence of an active working relationship with UNHCR, along with UNHCR funding and/or support in 2008 for either the specific proposed activities or the applicant's broader country program. Where applicable, PRM wants to see coordination with development organizations and a realistic transition strategy, suggesting that PRM is looking for programs that connect emergency GBV services and prevention work to longer-term systems and services rather than standing alone.
Timing details in the notice show the opportunity was posted and created on March 27, 2008, with an application deadline of April 30, 2008, and an archive date of May 30, 2008. The funding opportunity number is PRM SGP 08 CA 001 GL 032708. The agency contact listed for access issues related to the full announcement is Shanna Devoy, Program Analyst, at (202) 663-1476.
Overall, this opportunity supports practical, coordinated GBV prevention and response programming for refugee and returnee populations, with PRM making clear that proposals must follow the published guidelines closely, align with PRM's mandate, and demonstrate strong field presence, partnership with UNHCR, coordination with other stakeholders, and planning for sustainability or transition beyond the immediate intervention period.
