Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting urban refugees in Egypt" (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPAF 13 007) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity issued by the Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It is designed to support non-governmental organization (NGO) programs that assist refugees and asylum seekers living in Egypt, with a clear emphasis on people residing in urban settings rather than camps. The program’s practical focus is on strengthening protection and improving access to essential services for displaced populations concentrated in major cities.
PRM identifies its core geographic priorities as urban areas in Egypt, specifically highlighting Cairo and Alexandria. Proposed projects are expected to directly benefit refugees and asylum seekers living in these urban centers, where needs often include navigating legal status, overcoming barriers to public services, and managing the day-to-day challenges of displacement in dense metropolitan environments. The FOA frames urban refugee assistance as a mix of rights-based protection work and service delivery, with attention to the unique vulnerabilities refugees face outside camp settings.
Programmatically, PRM prioritizes proposals that focus on advocacy and support for refugee protection and access to basic social services in urban environments. Applicants are encouraged to build activities in one or more of the following sectors: protection services (including access to legal assistance and prevention and response to gender-based violence), education and vocational training, health care (including mental health services), community outreach and social services, self-reliance and livelihoods programming, and housing or shelter support. In practice, this means competitive proposals would typically combine strong case management and referral mechanisms with tangible service pathways, while also addressing systemic barriers through advocacy and coordination.
A central eligibility and competitiveness factor in this FOA is coordination with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). NGOs seeking funding are expected to demonstrate an active working relationship with UNHCR and/or to show they currently receive UNHCR funding. PRM strongly recommends that applicants include a letter of support from UNHCR for the proposed activities, and it indicates that such a letter should clearly describe the specific gap in services the program intends to fill. Priority is explicitly given to NGOs that can show their proposed activities have been coordinated with UNHCR, signaling that PRM wants to avoid duplication, ensure alignment with the broader refugee response, and support interventions that complement UNHCR-led strategies and referrals.
From a funding standpoint, PRM planned to make awards under a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically implies ongoing engagement between the funder and recipient during implementation (for example, coordination expectations, approvals of certain elements, or structured reporting and monitoring). The posted date and creation date are both April 1, 2013, with an application closing date of May 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 31, 2013. The award floor is listed as $200,000 and the award ceiling as $500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, including those with or without U.S. 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in both categories as listed). The FOA also clarifies that international organizations such as UN agencies and other public international organizations should not apply through Grants.gov for this announcement; instead, they are instructed to contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by the closing date if seeking funding for related programming.
The opportunity is categorized under overseas refugee assistance (CFDA 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa). Administrative support for technical issues with accessing the announcement is routed through the Grants.gov Contact Center, reflecting that the primary application submission route for NGOs is through Grants.gov, while UN entities follow a separate communication pathway.
