Deadline: 1 March 2019
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (PRM) is seeking applications for its NGO Projects Benefiting Refugees in South Sudan.
Proposed activities should support refugees in the legacy Unity and Upper Nile states.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.
For activities in the legacy Unity and Upper Nile states, proposals should focus on one or more of the following areas of intervention, with the items in parentheses as areas of particular interest to PRM (N.B. PRM will not fund projects in Yida.)
- Protection
- Education
- Health
- Mental Health and Psychosocial Support
Funding Information
- Funding Limits:Project proposals must not be less than $500,000 per year and not more than $1,500,000 per year or they will be disqualified.
- Proposed project start dates: May 1 to September 1, 2019
- Duration of Activity: Project plans for one, two, or three years will be considered. Applicants may submit multi-year proposals with activities and budgets that do not exceed three years (36 months) from the proposed start date. Actual awards will not exceed one year (12 months) in duration and activities and budgets submitted in year one can be revised/updated each year. Continued funding after the initial 12- month award requires the submission of a noncompeting single year proposal and will be contingent upon available funding, strong performance, and continuing need. In funding a project for one year, PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of donors to ensure long-term funding possibilities.
