Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 16 010
The FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "NGO Programs in Cote d'Ivoire Benefiting Ivoirian Refugee Returnees" is a discretionary U.S. government funding opportunity released by the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The goal is to support programs that help Ivoirian refugees who have returned to Cote d'Ivoire rebuild their lives and reintegrate in a sustainable way, consistent with PRM's broader mandate around protection, assistance, and durable solutions for displaced populations.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to primarily benefit Ivoirian refugee returnees living in specific priority locations. These include Blolequin, Danane, Duekoue, Guiglo, Man, San-Pedro, Seguela, Soubre, Tabou, Tai, Touba, Toulepleu, Zouan-Hounien, and also Abidjan and surrounding areas. Applicants are expected to design activities with these geographies in mind and to demonstrate a clear connection between the proposed work and the needs of returnee populations in those communities.
A central eligibility and design requirement is the beneficiary composition: PRM indicates it will consider funding only those projects where at least 50 percent of the targeted beneficiaries are refugee returnees. In practical terms, this means applicants need to be explicit about how they will identify, reach, and document returnee participation, and how the program will be structured so that returnees are not a minor subgroup but a core focus of service delivery and outcomes.
Program proposals must concentrate on one or more of four priority sectors. The first is livelihoods, which typically involves helping returnees restore income and economic stability through approaches such as skills training, support for small businesses, agricultural inputs, or access to markets and employment pathways. The second is protection, which generally covers activities that reduce risks and address vulnerabilities returnees may face, including community-based protection mechanisms, safe referral pathways, and support for especially at-risk groups. The third sector is shelter, reflecting the need for safe housing solutions that can range from basic repairs and reconstruction support to transitional shelter assistance. The fourth is social cohesion and/or community reconciliation, which points to efforts that help reduce tensions, rebuild trust, and improve relationships between returnees and host communities, often through community dialogue, shared community projects, mediation support, or initiatives that address conflict drivers.
The funding instrument for this NOFO is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more hands-on relationship between the funder and the recipient compared to a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, PRM may expect substantial involvement in areas like coordination, monitoring, and program adjustments during implementation, so applicants should be prepared for close collaboration and compliance with federal award requirements.
In terms of who can apply, the opportunity is open to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible applicant types listed generally as "Others." The opportunity is not intended for international multilateral organizations, such as United Nations agencies, to apply through Grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilateral entities seeking support for relevant programs are instructed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer by the application deadline.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPAF 16 010 and CFDA number 19.517. The NOFO was created on March 3, 2016, with an original closing date of April 5, 2016. The award ceiling listed is $1,500,000, indicating the maximum expected amount for an individual award under this announcement. While the posting notes "ExpectedAwards:" without a specified number, the ceiling provides a sense of the scale PRM was prepared to support for strong proposals aligned with the stated sectors, geographic priorities, and the 50 percent returnee-beneficiary requirement.Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 16 010
