Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Ethiopia opportunity is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement to support refugee assistance work in Ethiopia, with a specific focus on activities in Shimelba Camp. While projects may also include members of the surrounding host community, the central expectation is that proposed programs prioritize care and maintenance support for refugees living in camps or settlements. PRM is looking for practical, service-delivery oriented proposals that address urgent humanitarian needs and help sustain essential day-to-day systems for displaced populations.
Programmatically, PRM signals a clear set of priority sectors that proposals should concentrate on. These include health services; water and sanitation; hygiene promotion; education; prevention of and response to gender-based violence; and psychosocial support. In effect, competitive proposals should be built around core protection and basic needs outcomes, such as maintaining access to primary health care, ensuring safe water and adequate sanitation infrastructure, strengthening hygiene behaviors and outbreak prevention, keeping children engaged in schooling, improving survivor-centered GBV services and risk mitigation, and providing mental health and psychosocial support to address trauma and ongoing stressors in displacement settings.
Eligibility is open to nonprofit organizations with U.S. 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as international organizations. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a closer working relationship with PRM during implementation than a standard grant, including coordination on program design, reporting, and potentially key implementation decisions. The announcement is categorized under overseas refugee assistance programs for Africa (CFDA 19.517), and it is framed as “Refugee Assistance,” indicating its humanitarian focus rather than longer-term development programming.
The award size range listed for this opportunity runs from a floor of $100,000 up to a ceiling of $2,000,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. This structure supports both smaller targeted interventions and larger multi-sector packages, as long as the proposal remains aligned with PRM priorities and is operationally credible for the camp setting. The posting date is December 11, 2007, with an application closing date of January 11, 2008, and an archive date of February 10, 2008, placing it within PRM’s FY 2008 funding cycle and indicating the window in which applications were accepted.
Because PRM notes budget constraints, it also describes how it will prioritize among eligible applicants. Strong preference is given to organizations that can demonstrate an established working relationship with UNHCR and, specifically, evidence of UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities or the broader program during the 2007/2008 period. PRM also emphasizes the importance of a proven track record delivering the requested type of assistance in Ethiopia and in the specific sector(s) for which funding is sought. Another central evaluation factor is demonstrated coordination: applicants are expected to show active collaboration with the host government and with other international and non-governmental actors operating in the same geographic and programmatic space. Finally, PRM highlights beneficiary targeting, expecting proposals to show that beneficiary selection and coverage are appropriately defined and coordinated with UNHCR, the host government, and other relevant organizations to avoid duplication and ensure assistance reaches priority groups.
Administrative details identify the opportunity number as PRM AFR 08 CA AF 12112007 HORN and the title as PRM NGO Projects in Ethiopia. The agency contact listed for questions or access issues is Matthew Austin, Program Officer, at 202-663-1031. The announcement also references an additional information link tied to the FY 2008 PRM funding opportunity announcement for NGO programs in Ethiopia benefiting refugees, covering activities beginning January 16, 2008 through May 15, 2008, which suggests the intended implementation period for funded activities and provides further context for how the program aligns with PRM’s broader annual planning.
