Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Thailand and Malaysia opportunity is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) discretionary funding announcement aimed at supporting assistance for Burmese refugees in Thailand and Malaysia. Funding is intended for NGOs and international organizations that are already working in close coordination with UNHCR and can align proposed activities with PRMs sector priorities and geographic focus. The assistance areas center on refugee protection and basic needs, with a clear emphasis on practical, service delivering programs that complement UNHCR-led responses rather than operating in isolation.
In Thailand, PRM is seeking proposals that directly improve living conditions and essential services in specific Burmese refugee camps. The priority sectors include nutritional assistance, water and sanitation activities, efforts to improve or maintain the quality of healthcare services, psychosocial programming, income generating activities, and initiatives that strengthen the capacity of services to respond to survivors of gender based violence (GBV). The announcement also narrows the geographic focus to five priority camps: Ban Mae Nai Soi, Ban Mae Surin, Mae La Oon, Mae Ra Ma Luang, and Mae La. In practice, this means applicants are expected to design programs that fit the camp context and demonstrate they can deliver consistently in these locations, including through appropriate referral pathways, survivor centered approaches for GBV related work, and coordination mechanisms that avoid duplication with other providers.
In Malaysia, the focus shifts from camp based assistance to support for urban Burmese refugees, particularly those living in and around Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. Priority activities there include improving healthcare and medical services, expanding mental health and psychosocial support, and increasing educational opportunities for the urban refugee population. The framing signals a preference for programs that address common barriers in urban displacement settings, such as access to affordable care, continuity of treatment, community based mental health support, and education models that can function despite documentation and mobility constraints. As with Thailand, alignment with UNHCR strategies and active coordination with other actors is treated as a core expectation rather than an optional feature.
PRM states that proposal competitiveness will heavily depend on four factors. First, organizations should be able to show a real working relationship with UNHCR, ideally including current UNHCR funding and/or formal support for the specific activities proposed or for the broader country program. Second, PRM favors applicants with a proven track record delivering the same type of assistance in the same sector and in the specified locations, which is a way of prioritizing implementers who can demonstrate operational readiness and reduced start up risk. Third, applicants should provide evidence of coordination with international organizations and other NGOs working in the same areas or sectors and, where feasible, coordination with local authorities. Fourth, applicants should show appropriate beneficiary targeting that is coordinated with UNHCR and other relevant organizations, signaling that PRM expects clear eligibility criteria, solid referral systems, and harmonized caseload management where applicable.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement funding instrument under CFDA 19.511 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for East Asia), and cost sharing is not required. The opportunity was posted on November 18, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 18, 2009, and it was later archived on January 17, 2010. The announcement lists award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically indicates that exact funding amounts were not specified in the synopsis and would instead be detailed in the full announcement or determined during the review and negotiation process. Eligibility is open to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as international organizations.
For applicants seeking additional requirements, PRM directs organizations to the full Grants.gov announcement and to PRMs general NGO guidelines on the PRM Funding Opportunities webpage. The point of contact for questions is Program Officer Hoa Tran at the U.S. Department of State (phone 202 663 3104; email TranHT3@state.gov), including support if an applicant has difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
