Additionally, projects that promote equal access to protection, assistance, and other solutions in any of the areas for LGBTQI+ refugees will be given favorable consideration

Eligibility Criteria
- The U.S. Department of State will not fund projects that duplicate the work or services provided by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) or other multilateral refugee programs.
