Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Thailand opportunity is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement that offers limited support for non-governmental organizations working with Burmese refugees in three specific camps in Thailand: Umpiem Mai, Nu Po, and Ban Don Yang. The funding is intended for refugee assistance activities delivered in the camp setting and is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM expects an ongoing programmatic relationship with the selected implementer(s) rather than a simple one-time grant with minimal federal involvement. The assistance falls under CFDA 19.511 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for East Asia) and is categorized as discretionary funding focused on refugee assistance.
Projects proposed under this opportunity are expected to address four required programming areas at the same time, not as separate optional tracks. First, applicants must improve or maintain access to quality health care services, with a strong emphasis on the health and nutrition needs of children under five as well as pregnant and lactating women. Second, proposals must maintain or improve water, sanitation, and other camp infrastructure, reflecting the ongoing need to prevent disease and maintain safe living conditions in long-term displacement environments. Third, proposals must improve overall quality of life by responding to psychosocial needs while also supporting income-generating activities, especially skills development and vocational training that help refugees move toward self-sufficiency and a reasonable livelihood. Fourth, proposals must strengthen community capacity to respond to gender-based violence (GBV) by improving how the community addresses survivors health, psychosocial, safety, and justice needs, which typically implies survivor-centered services, referral pathways, community awareness, and coordination mechanisms that reduce barriers to reporting and care.
While PRM will accept proposals from NGOs working within these sectors, the announcement makes clear that budget constraints will drive selectivity and that PRM will prioritize organizations that can demonstrate several credibility and coordination factors. Preference is given to applicants that already have a working relationship with UNHCR and show UNHCR funding and/or support during 2008 or 2009 for the proposed activities or the broader country program. PRM also places weight on a proven track record delivering the proposed type of assistance in Thailand and, importantly, in the specified camp locations. Strong proposals are expected to show active coordination with international organizations and other NGOs operating in the same geographic area or sector, and where relevant, coordination with local authorities. Applicants must also show that beneficiary targeting is appropriate and coordinated with UNHCR and other relevant partners, signaling that PRM is looking to avoid duplication, ensure gaps are covered, and align with established protection and assistance strategies in the camps.
Eligibility is limited to two main groups: (1) nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. International organizations that are already running relevant programs are encouraged to ensure PRM is aware of those activities by the closing date so PRM can consider the full landscape of IO and NGO programming when making funding decisions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower barriers for organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal funds.
Key dates in the posted record show the opportunity was posted on March 12, 2009, with an application deadline of April 15, 2009, and an archive date of May 15, 2009. The announcement directs applicants to consult the full Grants.gov posting for the detailed requirements and to review PRMs general NGO guidelines and application instructions. For questions, the listed PRM point of contact is Program Officer Hoa Tran, reachable by phone at 202-663-3104 or by email at TranHT3@state.gov, including support for applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
