Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009405
The "2023 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs in Tanzania and Uganda" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009405) is a discretionary U.S. government funding opportunity issued by the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects a higher level of ongoing involvement compared to a standard grant, such as closer coordination on implementation, monitoring, reporting, and program adjustments during the period of performance. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for funding activity and is associated with CFDA (Assistance Listing) 19.517, which aligns with PRM's humanitarian mandate supporting displaced and conflict-affected populations.
This funding notice is explicitly meant to be read and used alongside PRM's General NGO Guidelines. In practical terms, the Guidelines function as the main rulebook for eligibility, program design expectations, PRM sector priorities, budget norms, required application components, compliance standards, and evaluation criteria. The notice makes clear that applicants must align proposed activities with PRM priorities and must format and structure their submissions in the way PRM requires. A key point in the announcement is that proposals that do not follow the requirements in the General NGO Guidelines and this NOFO will not be considered, so compliance is treated as a gatekeeping step, not a minor administrative detail.
Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations that hold U.S. 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and institutions of higher education are excluded. This indicates PRM is targeting experienced humanitarian NGOs rather than universities or academic-led entities. While the notice title references Tanzania and Uganda, the description provided does not list specific technical sectors, target populations, or geographic sub-areas inside those countries; instead, it signals that the specifics of what PRM will fund, and how it expects programs to be designed, should be drawn from PRM's General NGO Guidelines and PRM's broader strategic priorities for refugee and migration-related programming.
The opportunity was posted/created on February 7, 2023, with an original application closing date of March 28, 2023. The stated award ceiling is $3,750,000, which represents the maximum amount PRM would provide under this solicitation for a single award, depending on PRM's final determinations, program scope, and available appropriations. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which can appear in government postings for a variety of administrative reasons (for example, the agency may not have committed to a set number of awards at the time of posting, or awards may be contingent on funding availability and merit). It should not automatically be read as meaning no awards will be made, but it does highlight that award quantity and total funding are not firmly specified in the summary data presented here.
Overall, this NOFO signals that PRM is inviting compliant, PRM-aligned NGO proposals for humanitarian programming connected to refugees, displaced people, or other populations of concern in Tanzania and Uganda, using a cooperative agreement structure and up to a multi-million-dollar ceiling per award. The central takeaway is that the General NGO Guidelines are not optional reference material for this competition; they are effectively part of the solicitation itself, and proposals that do not mirror PRM's required approach, priorities, and submission standards will be screened out before merit-based review.Apply for SFOP0009405
