Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Chad opportunity is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement focused on refugee assistance in Chad, with a clear emphasis on helping refugees located in the east of the country. The main target population is the large refugee caseload at the time, including roughly 280,000 Sudanese refugees and refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR). The overall goal is to support practical, on-the-ground humanitarian and protection activities that address urgent needs in and around refugee camps and surrounding areas where refugees are concentrated.
PRM indicates it is open to projects across a wide range of refugee-response sectors. Examples of eligible activities include protection services; health and clinical support; nutrition programming; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); education; camp management and site-level coordination; community services; micro-enterprise and livelihoods development; humanitarian air services; humanitarian information services; gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and survivor support; and psychosocial support. In other words, proposals can cover both life-saving assistance (like health, nutrition, and WASH) and essential support systems that keep a refugee operation functioning (like camp management, information services, and air services), as well as longer-term resilience activities such as livelihoods when they are appropriate to the context.
While PRM states that it will accept proposals from any NGO that can meet the guidelines, it also signals strong preferences due to limited funds. Competitive proposals are expected to show a real working relationship with UNHCR, and ideally demonstrate UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities or the broader country program during the 2007/2008 period. PRM also places weight on an organization having a proven track record delivering the same kind of assistance in Chad, specifically in the proposed sector and geographic location. In addition, proposals should show evidence of coordination with UN agencies, international organizations, and other NGOs operating in the same camps or areas, and they should demonstrate that beneficiary targeting is being done appropriately and in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant actors. In practice, this means PRM is looking for projects that fit into the existing humanitarian architecture, avoid duplication, and can show they are aligned with refugee registration, vulnerability criteria, and inter-agency plans.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies more ongoing collaboration and engagement with the funder than a simple grant. The funding category is refugee assistance, and the CFDA listing is 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa. The announcement lists an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $3,000,000, giving applicants room to propose both smaller targeted interventions and larger multi-sector or multi-site programs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the opportunity more accessible to organizations that do not have significant unrestricted funds.
Eligibility includes (1) U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and was posted in early September 2007, with the original closing date in early October 2007. The deadline was extended to 6:00 pm EST on October 9, 2007 due to technical issues with Grants.gov submissions. PRM required that by the deadline it must receive either a complete electronic submission via Grants.gov or a hardcopy submission that includes an original SF-424 (version 2) signed by the authorized organizational representative, along with the proposal, budget, budget narrative, and associated documents such as an NICRA (if applicable) and a code of conduct. The notice also makes clear that late submissions would not be accepted and flags a federal holiday closure affecting office availability.
For applicants needing support or clarification, the point of contact listed is Nnenna N. Ofobike, West Africa Program Officer at PRM, with a phone number and email contact provided in the announcement. The opportunity also references a link to broader FY 2008 funding opportunity announcements for NGO programs in Chad, suggesting this announcement sits within a wider set of PRM funding rounds for the country during that fiscal year.
