Deadline: 19 April 2019
The United States Department of State, Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (PRM) is seeking applications for its NGO Projects Benefiting Refugees and Other Vulnerable Populations in Egypt.
Proposed activities should primarily support refugee populations in Egypt. Programs must provide a beneficiary breakdown by proportion of Syrian refugee, non-Syrian refugee and host community populations. Priority will be given to programs that target the most vulnerable populations. 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. Projects should demonstrate increased emphasis on mainstreaming protection, including gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response and child protection, across proposed sectors and activities.
Focus Sectors
Proposals must focus on one or more of the following sectors:
- Protection (child protection and/or gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response; assistance to elderly persons with specific needs; and/or to persons living with disabilities)
- Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
- Education
- Health: Proposals should focus on increasing refugee and asylum seeker access to existing government- and community-based services rather than developing parallel health care services.
- Livelihoods: Proposals should be based on market assessments and should be designed to foster self-reliance among refugees and asylum seekers in urban areas. Components may include (a) training in language, literacy and vocational skills linked to local markets, (b) job-placement, and/or (c) skills training or legal support for businesses. Proposals should include plans to measure the impact of proposed activities on achieving self-reliance.
