Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005549
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) announced a discretionary grant opportunity for 2019 focused on Ethiopia and Kenya (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005549). The program is designed to support PRM's core mandate: protecting refugees, providing humanitarian assistance, and advancing more sustainable solutions for people displaced by conflict. The central requirement is that proposed activities must primarily benefit refugees in Ethiopia and Kenya, and PRM will only consider projects where at least 50 percent of the direct target beneficiaries are refugees. In practical terms, an application needs to be built around refugee-centered outcomes and must be able to show, through clear targeting and reporting, that refugees make up at least half of the people served.
Funding would be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of State expects a closer working relationship with the award recipient than in a standard grant. While the specific technical program sectors are not spelled out in the brief description, PRM funding typically aligns with protection and assistance priorities that improve safety, access to rights and services, and pathways toward longer-term stability for refugees and other conflict-affected populations. Because the activity category is listed as "Other," applicants would be expected to clearly explain their program area and how it connects to PRM objectives in the Ethiopia and Kenya refugee contexts, including how the activities complement existing humanitarian coordination and avoid duplication.
The award ceiling for this opportunity was set at $2,000,000 per award. The posting lists "Expected Awards: 0," which can occur in government listings for administrative reasons and does not necessarily mean no awards will be made; it may reflect that the number of awards was not predetermined at the time of posting. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," indicating that eligibility details were provided elsewhere in the full announcement, but the key takeaway from the summary is that applicants needed to be able to implement refugee-focused programming in Ethiopia and/or Kenya and meet PRM's beneficiary targeting threshold.
Key dates included a creation/posting date of January 28, 2019, with an original application deadline of February 27, 2019. The CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the program is 19.517, which corresponds to refugee-related assistance programming administered by PRM. Overall, this opportunity was aimed at funding projects in Ethiopia and Kenya that deliver tangible protection and assistance outcomes for refugees, with a strict requirement that refugees comprise at least half of the population directly served.Apply for SFOP0005549
