OpportunityTitle: FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs benefiting displaced and conflict-affected persons in Armenia and Georgia
CategoryExplanation: Overseas Refugee Assistance
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: (1) International Organizations.  International multilateral 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 PRM Program Officer (as listed below) on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
Description: This NOFO seeks to support refugees and/or displaced persons in Georgia and Armenia. Because of PRM&apos;s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees/IDPs/returnees. Proposals must focus on one or more of the following sectors: (1) Protection, including legal assistance and counseling, community mobilization, information dissemination about available services and/or gender-based violence prevention and response as applicable. (2) Livelihoods, including programs that support job-placement, vocational skills training, and community mentoring, among others. All proposed livelihood activities must be grounded in solid market and livelihoods assessments. Proposals should include detailed information about how the proposed activities complement government and UN initiatives and/or plans. (3) Confidence Building (for Georgia only), PRM will consider projects seeking to support confidence building across communities divided by conflict that support information campaigns to facilitate awareness of government programs and policies intended for displaced persons (including policies related to housing, youth, women and girls, health, or other assistance-related reforms). Projects should strive to serve as models or pilot projects to stimulate mainstreaming of assistance for displaced persons. Project budgets may not be higher than $200,000.
