Deadline: 5 February 2016
The U.S Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) is seeking proposals from NGO’s for its Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa that will provide funding to NGO programs benefiting refugees in Ethiopia and Kenya.
Funding Information: Project proposals must not be more than $1,500,000.
Funding Priorities
- PRM will prioritize funding for proposed NGO activities that best meet the Bureau’s priorities for filling programming gaps in the Horn of Africa region.
- Because of PRM’s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees.
Selection Criteria
- Proposals must have a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound, and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and include at least one outcome or impact indicator per objective. Objectives should be clearly linked to the sectors.
- Proposals must adhere to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance.
- PRM strongly encourages programs that target the needs of potentially vulnerable and underserved groups among the beneficiary population (women; children; adolescents; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex (LGBTI) individuals; older persons; the sick; persons with disabilities; and other minorities) and that can demonstrate what steps have been taken to meet the specific and unique protection and assistance needs of these vulnerable groups effectively.
- PRM will accept proposals from any NGO working in the above mentioned sectors although, given budgetary constraints

- nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education;
