OpportunityTitle: FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting displaced Syrians in Jordan and Lebanon
CategoryExplanation: Overseas Refugee Assistance
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: International Organizations (IOs) should not submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement.  Rather IOs such as UN agencies and other Public International Organizations (PIOs) that are seeking funding for programs relevant to this announcement should contact the relevant PRM Program Officer (as stated below) on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
Description: PRM will prioritize funding for proposed NGO activities that fall within the UN Regional Response Plan and meet the Bureau&apos;s priorities for displaced Syrians as identified below. NGOs submitting proposals in response to this funding announcement must be a part of the UN Regional Response Plan and be registered with the Governments of Jordan and/or Lebanon to operate in each of the countries of the proposed activities by the program start date. Within the body of the proposal, NGOs should clearly state their role within the UN Regional Response Plan and their ability to operate in the proposed areas and include documentation providing verification of their registration status as an attachment to their proposal submission. (a) Because of PRM&apos;s mandate to provide protection, assistance, and durable solutions for refugees and conflict victims, PRM will only consider funding projects that include a direct beneficiary base of at least 50 percent displaced Syrians in Jordan and Lebanon. PRM will consider proposals for activities in a single country as well as programs operating in both Jordan and Lebanon. (b) Proposals for programs addressing the needs of Syrians residing in host communities should focus on addressing health, psychosocial support, protection, shelter, information sharing/communications, and/or education. Proposals for programs in UN-managed camps in Jordan should focus on information sharing/communications and protection. Proposals should include detailed information on planned coordination with and referral mechanisms to both local and international organizations.
