Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 17 007
This FY 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), numbered PRM PRMOAPAF 17 007, is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means PRM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation (for example, through close coordination, monitoring, and participation in key decisions). The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 19.517 and was posted on January 25, 2017, with an application deadline of April 7, 2017. The maximum award amount listed is $1,500,000, while the notice does not clearly specify the number of awards expected.
The core purpose of the NOFO is to support programs that provide protection, humanitarian assistance, and longer-term, sustainable solutions for populations displaced by conflict in parts of West Africa and the Sahel. The announcement prioritizes activities that primarily benefit three groups in specific locations: Malian refugees hosted in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, or Niger; Nigerian refugees located in Niger; and refugee returnees in Mali, Senegal, or Cote d'Ivoire. In other words, projects must be designed around these particular displacement-affected populations and the countries where they are currently living or returning.
A key eligibility and design requirement in this NOFO is the minimum percentage of targeted beneficiaries who must be from the intended displacement-affected group. For projects implemented in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, or Niger, PRM states it will consider funding only those projects where at least 50 percent of the target beneficiary base are refugees. For projects implemented in Mali, Cote d'Ivoire, or Senegal, at least 50 percent of beneficiaries must be refugee returnees. This requirement is central to PRM's mandate and is meant to ensure that funded programming is not primarily general development work, but rather clearly focused on refugees and conflict-affected returnees. Practically, applicants would need to define their target population, explain how they will verify beneficiary status, and structure outreach and service delivery so that the 50 percent threshold is met and can be documented.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible entities as indicated by the listing. At the same time, the NOFO explicitly instructs international multilateral organizations, such as United Nations agencies, not to submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations seeking support for relevant programming are directed to contact the PRM Program Officer identified in the full announcement on or before the closing date. This distinction signals that the competition is primarily aimed at NGOs and similar non-UN implementers through the Grants.gov application channel, while UN entities would pursue funding discussions through a separate coordination process.
Overall, the opportunity is focused on delivering refugee and returnee-centered assistance in a set of defined host and return countries, with a clear beneficiary composition rule (50 percent minimum) that applicants must meet depending on where programming takes place. Any proposed project would be expected to align with PRM's overarching objectives of protection, assistance, and durable solutions for refugees and people affected by conflict, and to demonstrate that the majority of its direct beneficiaries fall within the specified refugee or returnee categories in the countries named in the notice.Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 17 007
