Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is soliciting proposals for refugee assistance projects in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen under a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument. The opportunity is focused on care and maintenance support for refugees, with PRM indicating it will prioritize proposals that most closely align with its identified country and sector priorities. While activities may include members of the host community, proposals must be clearly refugee-centered, and at least 50 percent of the direct beneficiaries must be refugees. The program areas PRM is willing to fund are broad across core humanitarian and protection needs, including protection services, health programming, water and sanitation, shelter, education, community services, psychosocial support, gender-based violence prevention and response, and livelihoods development and training.
PRM states it will accept proposals from any NGO operating in the listed sectors, but it also makes clear that funding constraints will drive competitive prioritization. Strong preference is given to organizations that can demonstrate an active working relationship with UNHCR in-country, including UNHCR funding and/or formal support connected to the proposed activities. PRM also emphasizes the importance of an established record of delivering refugee assistance in the relevant country and sector, along with evidence of coordination with other international organizations, NGOs, and when applicable, local authorities. From a design and accountability standpoint, proposals are expected to include a concrete implementation plan with clearly defined objectives and indicators that meet SMART standards (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, reliable, time-bound, and trackable), include established baselines, and contain at least one impact indicator per objective. Budget quality is also a major evaluation factor: budgets should be realistic and aligned to the stated objectives and should show co-funding from non-U.S. government sources. Finally, PRM expects appropriate beneficiary targeting that is coordinated with UNHCR and other relevant actors, signaling that duplication and poor alignment with existing response plans will be viewed negatively.
The announcement includes strict geographic and operational requirements in certain countries. In Djibouti, proposals must target refugees in Ali Addeh Refugee Camp. In Kenya, projects must benefit refugees in the Kakuma and Dadaab camps, and any proposal involving Dadaab must include a letter from the UNHCR Dadaab Sub-Office explicitly approving the proposed activities; applications for Dadaab without that UNHCR approval letter will not be considered. In Yemen, PRM will only consider proposals for activities located in Sanaa and will not fund activities outside of Sanaa under this opportunity. (Ethiopia is included among the eligible countries in the announcement, but the country-specific restrictions listed are for Djibouti, Kenya, and Yemen.)
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is PRM AFR 09 CA 03092009 HORN, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number is 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa. Awards are expected to fall between a floor of USD 250,000 and a ceiling of USD 1,000,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, even though PRM favors proposals that demonstrate co-funding. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as international organizations. The opportunity was posted March 9, 2009, with an application closing date of May 5, 2009, and it was later archived June 4, 2009. For access issues or questions tied to the full announcement, the listed PRM contact is Matthew Austin, Program Officer, at 202-663-1031.
