Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in South Sudan opportunity is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement (CFDA 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa) aimed at supporting the repatriation and reintegration of Sudanese refugees returning to southern Sudan. The focus is specifically on return communities in Jonglei State, Eastern Equatoria State, and Upper Nile State, with an emphasis on practical, on-the-ground services that help returnees stabilize and rebuild their lives after coming home. PRM is looking for programs that directly address urgent reintegration needs in high-return areas rather than activities centered on preparing refugees in countries of asylum for return.
Projects proposed under this announcement should concentrate on core humanitarian and protection-oriented sectors. PRM indicates it will consider activities in protection, health, primary education, water and sanitation, mine awareness education, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, and livelihoods training and establishment. At the same time, PRM clearly states it will not fund certain types of activities for FY2009, including information campaigns, civic education projects, "go and see" visits, or similar efforts designed to encourage or prepare refugees for return while they are still outside Sudan. In other words, the funding is geared toward services in the places where people are returning, not outreach or messaging programs in asylum countries.
A key eligibility and targeting requirement is that proposals must focus on communities experiencing high levels of return, where refugee returnees represent at least 50 percent of the targeted beneficiaries. Applicants are expected to justify their chosen locations with data on current and projected returnee population figures, and those figures should be documented by recognized sources such as OCHA, UNHCR, the Southern Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (SSRRC), and/or local authorities. This requirement signals that PRM wants proposals to be evidence-based, geographically specific, and designed around verified return trends rather than general regional needs.
While PRM will accept proposals from any NGO that can meet the guidelines, it notes that budget constraints will drive funding priorities. Strong preference is given to organizations that can demonstrate several factors: an active working relationship with UNHCR and UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities or broader country program during 2008/2009; a proven track record delivering assistance to Sudanese returnees in the same sectors and locations proposed; and clear coordination with and support from local authorities. PRM also emphasizes coordination with development organizations in the target region and the presence of a well-developed transition strategy, suggesting the bureau is interested in programs that do not end abruptly but instead connect humanitarian reintegration support to longer-term recovery and development efforts. In addition, applicants should show that beneficiary targeting is coordinated with UNHCR and other relevant actors involved in reintegration, reinforcing expectations around deconfliction, referral pathways, and shared planning.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement under a discretionary funding opportunity categorized as refugee assistance. The award ceiling is $3,000,000 and the award floor is $100,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and international organizations, with a note that responses from international organizations are handled under PRM authorities and procedures for voluntary contributions. The funding opportunity number is PRM AFR 07 CA AF 09082008 SUDAN, it was posted on September 8, 2008, and the application deadline was October 15, 2008 (with an archive date of November 14, 2008). The announcement also references an implementation window for programs benefiting southern Sudanese refugees, returnees, and receiving communities, described as beginning December 1, 2008 through February 1, 2009.
For applicants needing further guidance, PRM directs organizations to consult both the full announcement on Grants.gov and PRM's general NGO guidelines (also available via Grants.gov and PRM's website). The listed point of contact for questions is Program Officer Brennan Gilmore at 202-663-1712 or gilmorebm@state.gov, and he is also the contact for assistance if an applicant has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
