CategoryExplanation: Refugee assistance.

Description: Limited Funding is available through the U.S. Department of State&apos;s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) for global programs to better prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV) in refugee and conflict-affected populations, focusing on capacity-building, and research and assessments to strengthen GBV prevention and response interventions among PRM populations of concern. Proposals should aim to strengthen the broader international community&#146;s response rather than building the capacity of a specific or single organization. Proposals for GBV prevention and response programs in specific locations should be submitted through the appropriate regional and/or country specific funding opportunity announcement rather than through this announcement. Applicants should bear in mind that PRM&apos;s central mandate is to provide assistance to refugees and refugee returnees. Priorities are outlined in the full announcement. Please read the full announcement and the PRM general NGO guidelines carefully. Proposals that do not meet the requirements outlined in the announcement and the guidelines will not be considered. For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the &quot;Full Announcement&quot; Grants.gov link. For PRM&apos;s general NGO guidelines, please go to the Funding Opportunities page of PRM&#146;s website: http://www.state.gov/g/prm/c27111.htm. After you&apos;ve read both documents, please contact Shanna Devoy at 202-453-9349 (devoysk@state.gov) with any questions. Funding opportunity announcements and PRM&apos;s general NGO guidelines are also on PRM&apos;s website.
