Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PRM PRMOAPGL 14 002 is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) discretionary grant opportunity to fund a cooperative agreement focused on improving how the humanitarian system prevents and responds to gender based violence (GBV) during emergencies. Rather than paying for direct services in a single crisis, the core purpose is to support a structured, collaborative strategic visioning process at the global level that brings together the GBV Area of Responsibility (AoR) and other humanitarian actors to align around shared goals, practical priorities, and an actionable plan for stronger GBV outcomes in humanitarian settings.

The project PRM is looking to fund would design and run a facilitated process, carried out in close collaboration with the GBV AoR and relevant stakeholders, and anchored in two major U.S.-backed policy initiatives: the Call to Action on Protecting Women and Girls in Emergencies and the State-USAID Safe from the Start initiative. In practical terms, the selected implementer would be expected to convene, consult, and synthesize input from a wide range of organizations involved in humanitarian response (including GBV specialists and other sector leads) so that the broader system is working from a common understanding of what effective GBV prevention and response should look like, and how to get there.

PRM frames the work around four main deliverables or outcomes. First, the process should produce a shared vision among diverse humanitarian actors for timely and effective GBV prevention and response in emergencies. Second, it should include an analysis of the current landscape, identifying strengths that can be built on, opportunities for faster progress, and the obstacles and challenges that are holding the system back. This assessment is meant to be grounded in what is already underway or planned across the community, including existing workstreams intended to improve GBV programming and the current set of Call to Action commitments. Third, the initiative should translate that analysis into a shared framework for action that is not limited to GBV specialists alone, but also clearly engages other key humanitarian actors, and lays out short-, medium-, and long-term priorities. Fourth, it should culminate in a roadmap that helps the wider humanitarian community move those priorities forward, essentially turning the vision and framework into sequenced, realistic next steps that different stakeholders can pick up and implement.

From an applicant standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that PRM expects to be more actively involved than in a standard grant, for example through ongoing coordination, shared decision points, and alignment with U.S. government policy priorities. The funding instrument is tied to CFDA 19.522 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities), with no cost share or matching requirement. The award range runs from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $400,000, suggesting PRM anticipated proposals that could scale from targeted facilitation and synthesis work to a more extensive, multi-stage global consultation and planning process.

Eligibility is open to a range of organizational types that are well positioned to convene and manage a multi-stakeholder strategic process, including private and public institutions of higher education as well as nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)). The announcement was posted February 28, 2014, with a closing date of March 21, 2014 (a shorter-than-30-day window approved by the Grants Officer), and it was archived April 20, 2014. The opportunity listing directs applicants needing technical help accessing the announcement to the Grants.gov Contact Center, reflecting that submissions and full documentation were handled through standard federal grants systems.

Does this opportunity fund direct GBV services in a single emergency or crisis?

Who is the process intended to involve?

The process is intended to involve the GBV Area of Responsibility (AoR) and a wide range of humanitarian actors beyond GBV specialists, including other sector leads and relevant stakeholders across the humanitarian response system.

What are the main deliverables or outcomes PRM expects?

PRM frames the work around four main deliverables:

  1. A shared vision among diverse humanitarian actors for timely and effective GBV prevention and response in emergencies.
  2. An analysis of the current landscape, identifying strengths, opportunities, and obstacles/challenges holding the system back, grounded in what is already underway or planned (including existing workstreams and current Call to Action commitments).
  3. A shared framework for action that engages not only GBV specialists but also other key humanitarian actors, with short-, medium-, and long-term priorities.
  4. A roadmap that turns the vision and framework into sequenced, realistic next steps that stakeholders can implement.

What does PRM mean by a "shared vision" deliverable?

It means the facilitated process should result in diverse humanitarian actors aligning around a common picture of what timely and effective GBV prevention and response should look like during emergencies.

What is the "shared framework for action" supposed to do?

The framework should translate the landscape analysis into an action-oriented approach that is not limited to GBV specialists. It should clearly engage other key humanitarian actors and lay out priorities over the short, medium, and long term.

What is meant by a "roadmap" in this FOA?

The roadmap is the culminating product that helps the wider humanitarian community move the priorities forward by turning the vision and shared framework into sequenced, realistic next steps that different stakeholders can pick up and implement.
