Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for NGO programs benefiting refugees in Chad and Cameroon (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPAF 16 012) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (DOS-PRM). Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the agency expects to stay actively involved in the project through coordination, oversight, and ongoing engagement rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is designed to support PRM's core mandate of protection, humanitarian assistance, and durable or sustainable solutions for people displaced by conflict, with a clear emphasis on refugee populations.
A central requirement is that proposed activities must primarily benefit refugees, and PRM will only consider projects where at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees. In practice, this sets a hard floor for refugee targeting and is meant to ensure that projects are not mainly serving broader development goals or general host-community needs without a clear refugee-centered focus. At the same time, the language allows work in host communities when it is connected to refugee response and when the overall beneficiary mix still meets the 50 percent refugee threshold.
The opportunity is split into country-specific priorities, with different eligible refugee populations and program sectors in Chad versus Cameroon. In Chad, proposals must focus on refugees from Sudan and/or the Central African Republic (CAR). Projects are expected to be implemented in camps or UNHCR-designated sites, and may also include surrounding host communities, again assuming the overall beneficiary requirements are met. Sector priorities in Chad are limited to one or more of the following: primary healthcare (explicitly primary care only) including reproductive health; protection activities (with examples including gender-based violence prevention and response, child protection including secondary education for Sudanese refugees, community reconciliation and peacebuilding, and efforts that improve safe access to fuel and energy); and livelihoods programming. This framing signals PRM's interest in life-saving and stabilization support (health and protection) paired with self-reliance elements (livelihoods), while also calling out specific protection sub-areas that are often under-resourced in displacement settings.
In Cameroon, proposals must focus on Nigerian refugees, subject to security conditions, and/or CAR refugees who arrived beginning in 2013. The Cameroon sector priorities are also restricted, but differ from Chad: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH); protection (including gender-based violence prevention and response, child protection, and community reconciliation and peacebuilding); and livelihoods. The explicit inclusion of WASH in Cameroon, and its absence from the Chad list, indicates PRM is steering applicants toward the most pressing gaps PRM identified in each context at the time of the announcement.
From an applicant and administrative standpoint, the eligible applicant pool includes nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and certain other entities as referenced in the eligibility notes. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.517. The NOFO was posted March 10, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline of April 14, 2016. The listed award ceiling is $2,000,000 per award. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided source text, which often means it could vary depending on available funds and the quality and scope of applications received.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as targeted humanitarian support for specific refugee groups in Chad and Cameroon, with applicants expected to design projects tightly aligned to PRM's protection and assistance priorities, to work within the specified sectors for each country, and to demonstrate that refugees make up at least half of the people who will directly benefit from the proposed services.
