Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Thailand, Bangladesh and Malaysia opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) to support refugee assistance programs for Burmese refugee populations in three countries: Thailand, Bangladesh, and Malaysia. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM expects an active partnership with selected recipients during implementation. The opportunity falls under CFDA 19.511 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for East Asia) and is specifically focused on refugee assistance activities rather than broader development work.
Funding is described as limited, and PRM makes clear that proposals will be judged against how well they match the Bureau's stated priorities in each country context. For Thailand, PRM is prioritizing health services across a wide range of needs, including curative and preventive care, reproductive health, mental health, and psychosocial support. Thailand proposals are also encouraged in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, as well as water and sanitation programming. Another major Thailand priority is gender-based violence work, which can include prevention, survivor-centered response services, case management, and related protection activities.
For Bangladesh, the focus is on assistance to Burmese Rohingya through projects that take a holistic, district-wide approach. The announcement highlights the need to cover both registered Rohingya refugees living inside the two official refugee camps, Kutupalong and Nayapara, and the unregistered Rohingya population as well as local Bangladeshi host communities living outside the camps. In practice, this signals PRM interest in coordinated approaches that reduce gaps between camp and non-camp services and that address pressures and vulnerabilities across the broader district rather than treating the camps as isolated service areas.
For Malaysia, PRM prioritizes programs for Burmese refugees that address healthcare, education, and gender-based violence prevention and response. This points to support for basic and potentially specialized health services, access to learning opportunities for children and youth, and protection services that reduce risk and provide assistance to survivors.
Eligibility is limited to two main applicant types: U.S.-based nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and international organizations. The announcement also notes that international organizations engaged in relevant programs should ensure PRM is aware of their activities by the closing date so PRM can review both IO and NGO programming for funding consideration. The opportunity was posted on February 3, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 6, 2012, and it was archived on April 5, 2012. The listed award floor and ceiling are shown as 0, which typically indicates that specific award sizes were not published in the summary and would need to be confirmed in the full funding opportunity announcement.
Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact PRM program officer Hoa Tran at (202) 663-3104.
