Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Rwanda/Tanzania opportunity is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) funding call intended to support refugee assistance and protection activities in Rwanda and Tanzania. The funding is described as limited and is meant specifically for NGOs working in coordination with UNHCR, with an emphasis on projects that directly improve conditions and safety for refugees. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM expects a closer working relationship and ongoing coordination with recipients than a standard grant might require.
PRM lists priority sectors that proposals should focus on, including health services, water supply, sanitation, shelter, camp infrastructure, protection programming, education, and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response. In practice, this signals that PRM is looking for programs that address basic needs in refugee settings (such as WASH and shelter), core services (like healthcare and schooling), and protection risks (including GBV and broader protection case management or community-based protection approaches). While proposals may cover multiple sectors, applicants would generally be expected to show clear links between planned activities and refugee needs on the ground in Rwanda or Tanzania, as well as how those activities align with UNHCR priorities.
A central theme of the announcement is demonstrated partnership and coordination. PRM states that priority will be given to organizations that can show: (1) an existing working relationship with UNHCR and evidence that UNHCR is funding and/or supporting the proposed activities in 2010, (2) a proven track record delivering the same type of assistance in the same sector and location, (3) clear evidence of coordination with international organizations and other NGOs operating in the same area or sector, and (4) appropriate beneficiary targeting developed in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant actors. In other words, PRM is signaling that it prefers proposals that are not standalone efforts, but instead fit into established refugee response plans, avoid duplication, and can demonstrate operational credibility in-country.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as PRM AFR 10 CA AF 102209 GREATLAKES under CFDA 19.517 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa). PRM anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date is October 22, 2009, and the application deadline (closing date) is November 20, 2009, with an archive date of December 20, 2009. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0, which typically means applicants should refer to the full announcement for any practical budget expectations or constraints rather than relying on those placeholder fields.
Eligibility is open to (1) U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. PRM directs applicants to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements and also to review PRMs general NGO guidelines on PRMs Funding Opportunities webpage. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the program point of contact is Wendy Henning, Great Lakes Program Officer, reachable at 202-663-1030 and henningwl@state.gov.
