Opportunity Summary:
The FY2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) with Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPNE 14 002 is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), focused on supporting vulnerable Afghan populations in two settings: (1) Afghan refugee returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) inside Afghanistan, and (2) registered Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects ongoing involvement or coordination during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant.
In Afghanistan, PRM is looking for NGO projects that directly benefit Afghan returnees and IDPs through a set of priority sectors. The FOA highlights Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) activities, livelihoods training to help people rebuild income and self-reliance, and protection programming with a specific emphasis on preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV). In practical terms, this points to interventions like improving access to safe water and sanitation facilities, hygiene promotion and related community-level behavior change, skills development or vocational training tied to realistic local income opportunities, and protection services that reduce GBV risks and improve survivor support and referral pathways. The announcement notes that PRM provides additional, more detailed objectives in the full FOA, signaling that proposals should be tightly aligned with PRM outcomes and technical expectations.
In Pakistan, the FOA shifts the priority areas to reflect refugee needs in that context. Proposed programs for registered Afghan refugees should address health services transition (which generally refers to maintaining continuity of care and moving toward sustainable access to health services as policies, funding streams, or service delivery arrangements change), livelihoods training, education, and protection. This combination suggests PRM is seeking projects that help refugees maintain access to essential health care while systems evolve, strengthen household economic resilience through employable skills, keep children and youth connected to learning opportunities, and provide protection services that reduce risk and address harms faced by refugee populations.
A key eligibility requirement in both countries is that PRM will only consider projects meeting a minimum beneficiary threshold: proposals must include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 Afghan refugee returnees and IDPs in Afghanistan and at least 50 registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan, depending on where activities will be implemented. This requirement indicates PRM is aiming to fund programs with a meaningful scale and measurable reach rather than very small pilot efforts.
The opportunity falls under the funding activity description of Overseas Refugee Assistance and is tied to CFDA number 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia). The FOA lists an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and an award floor of $0, which effectively means there is a maximum anticipated award size but no stated minimum. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary leveraged resources may still strengthen a proposal depending on PRM preferences described in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education as framed in the eligibility categories shown). The FOA also provides specific guidance for international organizations: UN agencies and other public international organizations should not apply through Grants.gov and instead should contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by the closing date if they seek PRM funding for activities aligned with this announcement.
The timeline information included in the posting shows the opportunity was posted on February 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2014, and an archive date of April 17, 2014. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, email support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except on federal holidays.
Overall, the FOA is aimed at practical, protection-conscious humanitarian assistance and early recovery programming for Afghan displacement-affected communities, with sector priorities tailored to the needs of returnees and IDPs in Afghanistan and registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan, and with a clear expectation that funded projects will serve at least a modest minimum number of intended beneficiaries in each country context.
