Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting displaced Iraqis in the Middle East is a discretionary U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding opportunity issued under CFDA 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia). Funding is to be provided through cooperative agreements, meaning PRM expects an active partnership role during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant. Cost sharing is not required. The opportunity was posted April 12, 2010, and applications were due by May 12, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time, with late submissions not accepted.
PRM’s central goal in this announcement is to support programs that align closely with its priorities for displaced Iraqis, particularly Iraqi refugees living in key host countries and Iraqi returnees. The geographic emphasis is on Iraqi refugees in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey, while also allowing support to Iraqi returnees inside Iraq when tied to broader programming. PRM indicates it will consider proposals that are country-specific (focused on a single host country) as well as regional programs that operate across multiple countries. A notable procedural point is that proposals for general assistance programming in Lebanon must be submitted separately from proposals related to the monitoring and evaluation system in Lebanon, with the full announcement providing specific instructions on that split submission requirement.
Programmatically, PRM requires assistance proposals to concentrate on one or more designated sectors, without ranking them by priority. These sectors include health care, mental health programming, education, vocational training, humanitarian assistance and protection, and gender-based violence prevention and response. PRM also explicitly encourages programs that respond to overlapping needs among vulnerable individuals and families by combining direct services with well-organized referral networks, whether those services are delivered in countries of asylum or as people return to Iraq. For activities that occur inside Iraq, PRM allows an additional angle: programs may seek to strengthen the Government of Iraq’s capacity to provide benefits and services to returnees, reflecting an interest in longer-term sustainability and improved institutional delivery.
A major emphasis in the announcement is PRM’s special interest in regional, cross-border projects designed to support voluntary returns and durable reintegration, with staff and activities positioned both inside and outside Iraq. The announcement gives concrete examples of how PRM envisions these linkages working in practice: vocational training provided to Iraqi refugees in Syria could be intentionally connected to livelihood support for the same population upon return to Iraq; mental health services delivered in Jordan could be paired with coordinated follow-up care once beneficiaries are back in Iraq; and education assistance provided to families in Syria could be tied to support that helps children reintegrate into schools in their home communities after return. For these cross-border concepts, PRM sets a clear beneficiary threshold: at least 50 percent of beneficiaries across the entire project must be Iraqi refugees or Iraqi refugee returnees. This requirement is meant to ensure projects remain focused on displaced Iraqis rather than drifting into broader host-community programming.
At the same time, PRM draws a firm boundary around what it will not fund under this particular announcement. It will not consider proposals for projects that are solely based inside Iraq. In other words, programming that takes place in Iraq must be connected to a broader approach that includes refugees in host countries and/or cross-border elements; applicants cannot use this funding opportunity as a vehicle for Iraq-only interventions.
On eligibility and operational readiness, the announcement is open to (1) U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. Beyond formal eligibility, PRM places strong weight on legal authorization and real operating capacity in proposed locations. NGOs must be registered to operate in each country where they propose activities by the program start date. Applicants are instructed to clearly describe their ability to operate in the proposed areas within the narrative of the proposal and to attach documentation verifying their registration status. The announcement flags Syria and Turkey as places where proof of registration is particularly important, signaling that PRM is attentive to the practical and legal constraints of working in those environments. For organizations that do not already have an active, sustained presence in Iraq but want to propose cross-border work that includes Iraq-based components, PRM expects applicants to explain what steps they have taken to initiate operations there, indicating a preference for implementers who can demonstrate credible pathways to access and continuity.
Finally, PRM notes that international organizations already running relevant programs should ensure PRM is aware of those activities by the closing date so the bureau can assess NGO and IO efforts side by side for funding consideration. For full technical details, applicants are directed to the complete announcement on Grants.gov and to PRM’s general NGO guidelines on PRM’s website. The listed point of contact for questions is Program Assistant Virginia Stewart (202-663-3834, StewartVE@state.gov), including support for anyone who has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
