Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting refugees in Chad and Cameroon" is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The funding is offered through cooperative agreements under CFDA 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa, and is meant to support humanitarian assistance that aligns with PRM's mandate around protection, lifesaving support, and pathways toward sustainable solutions for refugees and people affected by conflict.
PRM states that it will prioritize proposals that most directly address its key population and geographic priorities in the region: Sudanese refugees living in eastern Chad, Central African Republic (CAR) refugees in southern Chad, and CAR refugees in eastern Cameroon. A core eligibility condition tied to PRM's mandate is that any project considered for funding must serve a target beneficiary base that includes at least 50 refugees. In practice, this sets a clear minimum scale for proposed interventions and signals that PRM is focused on programs that can demonstrate meaningful reach among refugee populations rather than very small, pilot-scale efforts.
Sector priorities differ by country. For Chad, PRM invites proposals that focus on one or more of the following sectors: health (explicitly including reproductive health), education, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, water/sanitation/hygiene (WASH), and livelihoods. This indicates openness to both direct service delivery and protection-oriented programming, including areas that commonly require coordinated, multi-sector responses in protracted refugee settings such as eastern and southern Chad. For Cameroon, the FOA is more narrowly defined: proposals must focus on health, including reproductive health. That narrower requirement suggests PRM was seeking to fill urgent health gaps for CAR refugees in eastern Cameroon at the time, potentially including primary care access, maternal and newborn health, family planning, clinical management of rape, and other essential reproductive health services that are often disrupted during displacement.
The award size range is clearly defined, with an award floor of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $2,500,000. This range implies PRM was looking for mid-sized to larger operational projects rather than micro-grants, and that applicants were expected to be capable of implementing and managing significant field activities, compliance requirements, and reporting under a cooperative agreement structure. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which typically lowers barriers for humanitarian NGOs that may not have flexible private funds to contribute.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, whether they have 501(c)(3) status or not (excluding institutions of higher education in both cases). The FOA also addresses international organizations: UN agencies and other public international organizations are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov and instead to contact the relevant PRM program officer by the closing date if seeking funding for activities related to this announcement. This distinction reflects the different funding pathways PRM uses for NGOs versus multilateral or treaty-based entities.
Key timeline details are included in the announcement record. The opportunity was posted and created on March 4, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 5, 2013, and an archive date of May 5, 2013. Applicants needing technical help accessing the announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center via phone (1-800-518-4726) or email (support@grants.gov), with 24/7 availability except federal holidays. Overall, the FOA is structured to channel PRM resources toward refugee-focused programs in Chad and Cameroon, with clearly defined population priorities, minimum refugee beneficiary thresholds, and sector requirements that emphasize health and protection-oriented assistance in Chad and health-focused interventions in Cameroon.
