Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Bangladesh opportunity is a FY 2009 funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), focused on supporting Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar District, Bangladesh. Funding is intended for NGO programs operating primarily in and around the two official refugee camps, Kutupalong and Nayapara, and may also include unregistered Rohingya refugees living outside the camps, including at the Leda site. The overall emphasis is on practical assistance that improves protection, self-reliance, essential services, and camp conditions, with PRM signaling a preference for proposals that connect activities across locations and populations rather than treating each group in isolation.
Within the official camps (Kutupalong and Nayapara), PRM highlights four priority areas. First, applicants are encouraged to expand skills training that leads to income generating activities, with a strong focus on vocational training that helps refugees achieve some level of self-sufficiency and a more stable livelihood. Second, PRM wants disability support and psychosocial programming to be better integrated into existing health and education services, meaning proposals should not treat these needs as separate add-ons but as part of routine service delivery. Third, the announcement calls for stronger community mobilization efforts, especially those that reinforce existing community-based counseling systems used for conflict resolution and for preventing gender-based violence. Fourth, PRM prioritizes improvements to physical camp infrastructure, including upgrades to interior roads, which can affect safety, access to services, and overall living conditions.
For proposals that also include unregistered refugees living outside the two official camps (including the Leda site), PRM expects applicants to connect the same core sector priorities above with additional protection and education components. One key emphasis is expanding access to justice by strengthening law and order in the sub-districts where the camps are located, specifically to combat gender-based violence and to support survivors. Another priority is expanding access to education for refugee children through programming that benefits both Rohingya and Bangladeshi students, with the condition that Rohingya children comprise 50 percent of the targeted beneficiaries. This reflects PRM's interest in education approaches that reduce tensions with host communities while still ensuring meaningful refugee access.
Across all project concepts, PRM clearly states that proposals taking a holistic, district-wide approach will be prioritized. In practice, this means proposals that coordinate services and protection strategies for both registered refugees in camps and unregistered refugees outside camps, and that consider Cox's Bazar District as an interconnected operating environment, are more competitive than narrower, site-specific projects. The opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia), categorized as refugee assistance, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The announcement was posted November 25, 2008, with an application deadline of December 29, 2008, and an archive date of January 28, 2009. PRM directs applicants to review the full Grants.gov announcement and PRM's general NGO guidelines, and provides a point of contact for questions or access issues: PRM Program Officer Hoa Tran (phone 202-663-3104, email TranHT3@state.gov).
