Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Refugee Reintegration Projects in Southern Sudan opportunity is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement aimed at helping NGOs support the repatriation and reintegration of Sudanese refugees returning to southern Sudan. The funding is intended for work in return communities in Jonglei State, Eastern Equatoria State, and Upper Nile State, with a clear emphasis on places experiencing high levels of refugee return.
Projects are expected to focus directly on reintegration needs in communities where returnees represent a significant share of the people being served. Specifically, proposals should target locations where refugee returnees make up at least 50 percent of the total beneficiaries. Applicants are also expected to ground their geographic and beneficiary choices in credible population data by citing current and projected returnee figures documented by sources such as OCHA, UNHCR, the Southern Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (SSRRC), and/or local authorities. In practice, this means proposals should not just describe need in general terms, but should show evidence-based planning tied to verifiable return trends and anticipated caseloads.
PRM indicates it will consider a range of sector activities that address both immediate protection concerns and practical reintegration barriers. Priority program areas include protection services, health activities, primary education support, water and sanitation interventions, mine awareness education, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, and livelihoods training and establishment. The overall intent is to stabilize return communities and reduce the risks that returning families face by improving safety, access to basic services, and opportunities to rebuild household income.
While PRM will accept proposals from any NGO that meets the guidelines, the announcement makes clear that budget limits will drive selectivity. Preference is given to organizations that can demonstrate five key strengths: first, an active working relationship with UNHCR, including evidence of 2008 UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities or for the organization country program; second, a proven record delivering assistance to Sudanese refugee returnees in the same sectors and the same locations proposed; third, solid coordination with and support from local authorities, with the explicit note that PRM expects to share budget and activity details with relevant southern Sudan ministries, county commissioners, and other U.S. government entities involved in reconstruction; fourth, coordination with development organizations in the region and a credible transition strategy that connects humanitarian reintegration work to longer-term development efforts; and fifth, strong beneficiary targeting done in coordination with UNHCR and other reintegration actors, so assistance reaches returnees appropriately and avoids duplication.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under refugee assistance. The CFDA number listed is 19.517 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award floor is $100,000 and the award ceiling is $3,000,000. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as international organizations, with a note that international organization submissions are handled under PRM procedures for voluntary contributions. The opportunity was posted March 19, 2008, with an application deadline of April 18, 2008, and an archive date of May 18, 2008. For questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Amy Wendt, PRM/AFR Program Officer (202-663-3622, WendtAR@state.gov).
