Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2011 Funding Opportunity Announcement (Funding Opportunity Number PRM ANE 11 CA 001 NEA 041511 IRAQIS) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) to support nonprofit and international organization programs assisting Iraqi refugees in the Middle East, as well as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees inside Iraq. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM anticipated an active partnership and substantial involvement in program implementation and oversight rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The funding falls under CFDA 19.519, the Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia, and is categorized as refugee assistance. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to fund practical, protection-centered humanitarian programming tailored to the needs of Iraqis affected by displacement, both outside Iraq in neighboring host countries and within Iraq for those displaced or returning. For programs outside Iraq, PRM highlighted priority sectors that reflect common displacement-related needs: humanitarian assistance and protection services; health and mental health support; education activities; gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response; and vocational training and livelihoods development intended to help families stabilize economically while in exile. This mix signals a dual focus on immediate safety and basic services, alongside medium-term resilience measures such as skills training and income generation.
For programs inside Iraq, PRM emphasized priorities closely linked to safe return, reintegration, and community stabilization. Key areas included protection and livelihoods support specifically for vulnerable displaced and returning women; GBV programming; mental health services; reintegration support for youth whose education had been interrupted by conflict and displacement; and other initiatives that strengthen local integration or facilitate return and reintegration in a safe and sustainable way. In practice, this points to interventions like case management and protection referrals, psychosocial and community-based mental health support, education catch-up or accelerated learning opportunities for youth, and livelihoods assistance designed to reduce vulnerability and improve household stability during reintegration.
Eligibility was limited to two main applicant groups: (1) U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. PRM also noted that international organizations engaged in relevant assistance programs should ensure those efforts were made known to PRM by the closing date so PRM could consider both NGO and IO programming when making funding decisions, suggesting an intent to coordinate allocations across different implementers and avoid duplication.
The announcement was posted and created on April 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2011, and an archive date of June 16, 2011. The listing showed an award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically indicates that specific funding amounts were not provided in the summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related PRM guidance. Applicants were directed to consult the full Grants.gov announcement for detailed application requirements and to review PRM's general NGO guidelines via PRM's Funding Opportunities webpage. A point of contact was provided for access issues: Virginia Terhar, Program Analyst, at 202-453-9292.
