Opportunity Summary:
The FY2011 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "FY2011 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO Programs benefiting refugees in Chad, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic (CAR)" is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) competitive funding notice focused on refugee assistance in Central Africa. The opportunity is discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning PRM expects an active partnership role in program oversight and implementation. The funding activity category is refugee assistance under CFDA 19.517 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa). PRM states it will prioritize currently available funds for proposals that align most closely with its country-specific priorities across Chad, Cameroon, and CAR. No cost sharing or matching is required.
The core intent of the announcement is to support NGO and relevant international organization programming that improves protection and humanitarian outcomes for specific refugee populations and locations identified by PRM. The FOA directs applicants to tailor proposals tightly to the stated priorities rather than submitting broad humanitarian projects. PRM also signals that it wants visibility on all relevant programming: international organizations engaged in related activities are asked to make those programs known to PRM by the closing date so PRM can consider the full landscape of IO and NGO efforts when making funding decisions.
For Chad, PRM is explicitly looking for projects that serve Sudanese refugees living in the 12 camps in eastern Chad and/or Central African refugees residing in the 9 camps in southern Chad. Within those settings, PRM indicates it may support programming in several key sectors: primary health care; primary and secondary education; community services with an emphasis on prevention of gender-based violence; livelihoods activities; humanitarian air services; and humanitarian information services. This framing suggests PRM is seeking both direct life-saving services (health, protection) and stabilizing support that helps refugee communities function over time (education, livelihoods), alongside enabling services that improve humanitarian delivery and situational awareness (air and information services).
For Cameroon, the focus narrows to Central African refugees living in eastern Cameroon. PRM highlights assistance efforts that enhance protection, health, water and sanitation, and food security. Compared with the Chad priorities, the Cameroon list is more concentrated on core humanitarian sectors commonly tied to immediate survival and safety, indicating PRM is likely prioritizing essential services and protective environments for this specific refugee caseload.
For the Central African Republic (CAR), PRM identifies two priority contexts: (1) activities needed to complete the transfer of Sudanese refugees to the Bambari area, and (2) activities responding to new refugee arrivals from the Democratic Republic of Congo. For CAR proposals, PRM again emphasizes assistance efforts that enhance protection, health, and water and sanitation. The mention of completing a transfer to Bambari signals PRM interest in operational support for relocation and consolidation efforts, including services that help refugees safely transition and access basic assistance in the destination area. The explicit reference to new arrivals from DRC indicates PRM expects flexible, responsive programming to address evolving displacement dynamics.
Eligibility is limited to (1) nonprofit organizations with U.S. 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. The announcement was posted and created on January 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 16, 2011, and an archive date of March 18, 2011. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which typically indicates PRM did not specify a fixed funding range in the public synopsis and instead intended to determine award sizes based on available funds, proposal quality, and alignment with priorities.
Applicants are directed to consult two main resources for full requirements: the full announcement on Grants.gov and PRM general NGO guidelines hosted on PRM's website (Funding Opportunities page). For questions, the primary program contact listed is PRM/AFR Program Officer Bryan Lupton (phone 202-453-9307, email LuptonBC@state.gov). Additional points of contact include Refugee Coordinator Michael Zorick in N'Djamena, Chad (ZorickMP@state.gov) and PRM/AFR Deputy Office Director Mary Lange in Washington, DC (LangeMM@state.gov, 202-453-9369). These contacts suggest PRM is offering both field-level and headquarters-level channels for clarifying priorities, context, and application expectations.
