OpportunityTitle: FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs benefiting refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Colombia.
CategoryExplanation: Overseas Refugee Assistance
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: (1) International organizations. International Multi-lateral organizations, such as United Nations Agencies, should NOT submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement. Multilateral organizations that are seeking funding for programs, relevant to this announcement, should contact the relevant PRM Program Officer (as listed below) on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
Description: PRM seeks NGO proposals that primarily support Colombian internally displaced persons (IDP) and refugee populations in Colombia and Venezuela. These proposals should fill critical gaps in humanitarian assistance and local integration support for particularly vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees, including women, Afro-Colombians, and indigenous populations. Proposed activities should aim to improve beneficiaries&#195;&#162;&#194;&#128;&#194;&#153; self-reliance and form alliances with public institutions to provide basic services to the persons of concern. Within each country, programs should focus on areas with significant populations of refugees and asylum seekers and weak institutional capacity, including in both rural and urban settings.
