Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 16 008
The FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), numbered PRM PRMOAPAF 16 008, is a discretionary U.S. government funding announcement from the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It is designed to support NGO-led programs that benefit refugees in four priority operating areas: Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda (specifically the western refugee camps), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (focused on Sud-Ubangui and Nord-Ubangui provinces). The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means PRM expects a closer working relationship and more ongoing coordination during implementation than a standard grant.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to fund activities that align with PRM's mandate to provide protection, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and conflict-affected populations. Proposals are expected to be clearly refugee-focused and to concentrate primarily on the named geographic locations. A key program design requirement is that projects generally must include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 refugees. PRM notes that exceptions may exist only if they are explicitly allowed under country-specific provisions (not included in the excerpt provided), so applicants would need to ensure their beneficiary targeting meets or exceeds that baseline unless an allowable exception applies.
A central emphasis of the NOFO is coordination and alignment with the broader refugee response system. Applicants are expected to identify and target beneficiaries in collaboration with UNHCR and relevant local authorities, rather than independently selecting populations without consultation. Likewise, funded activities should be implemented in close collaboration with UNHCR and local authorities, signaling that PRM is prioritizing interventions that fit within established protection and assistance frameworks, reduce duplication, and support coordinated service delivery in refugee settings.
Eligibility is oriented toward non-governmental and non-profit implementers. The eligible applicant categories listed include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding higher education institutions), and an "Others" category, which usually indicates PRM may consider additional types of applicants if they meet the program and regulatory requirements. The award ceiling is up to $2,000,000 per award, and the original application closing date was April 4, 2016. The funding is associated with CFDA number 19.517, which corresponds to PRM's refugee assistance programming.
The NOFO also makes a clear procedural distinction regarding international multilateral organizations. United Nations agencies and other multilateral entities are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov in response to this particular announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations seeking support for relevant programs are directed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer on or before the closing date. In practice, this means the competition as posted through Grants.gov is aimed primarily at NGOs and similar non-multilateral implementers, while UN agencies must use a separate coordination and request pathway.
Taken together, the opportunity is structured for NGO partners that can deliver protection-oriented and assistance-focused programming for refugee populations in the specified East and Central African contexts, can document that at least 50 refugees are directly targeted as beneficiaries, and can demonstrate strong operational coordination with UNHCR and government counterparts. The cooperative agreement mechanism and the collaboration requirements suggest PRM is looking for implementers that are comfortable working within established humanitarian coordination structures and can align project goals, targeting, and reporting with PRM and UNHCR priorities in each location.Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 16 008
