Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2010 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), seeks proposals for NGO and international organization programs that assist refugees in Kenya, with a clear emphasis on camp-based care and maintenance. PRM notes that projects may include members of the local host community, but the main thrust should remain focused on refugees living in camp environments. A key eligibility rule for the project design is that at least 50 percent of the direct beneficiaries must be refugees, so proposals need to show, in a measurable way, how the beneficiary mix will meet or exceed that threshold.
PRM is open to a range of humanitarian and early recovery activities, and the FOA highlights several priority sectors that applicants can build around. These include protection services; health programming, specifically including support for persons with disabilities; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); shelter assistance; community services; psychosocial support; prevention of and response to gender-based violence; and livelihoods development. Livelihoods can include education and training components, signaling that PRM is willing to consider programs that go beyond immediate relief as long as they remain appropriate for a refugee camp context and align with PRM's objectives.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects a higher level of involvement in program oversight and coordination than under a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.517 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa). No cost sharing or matching is required, reducing the financial barrier for applicants that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal resources. The public listing shows an award ceiling and floor of 0, which usually indicates that exact award ranges are not specified in the summary and applicants should consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for budget expectations, allowable costs, and PRM's funding approach.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as international organizations. The FOA also encourages coordination awareness across the response landscape by noting that international organizations engaged in relevant refugee assistance programs should ensure PRM is informed of those programs by the closing date so PRM can consider the full set of IO and NGO activities when making funding decisions. This is a signal that PRM is looking at the overall portfolio in Kenya and may weigh duplication, complementarity, and coverage gaps when selecting proposals.
The timeline in the announcement indicates the FOA was posted on October 20, 2009, with an application closing date of November 23, 2009, and an archive date of December 23, 2009. Applicants are directed to review both the full Grants.gov announcement and PRM's general NGO guidelines, which are hosted on PRM's website under the Funding Opportunities page (http://www.state.gov/g/prm/c27111.htm). For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Refugee Program Officer Janet Deutsch at (202) 663-1031 and deutschje@state.gov.
