AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: i. Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education ii. Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education iii. 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: Proposed activities should support refugee populations and host communities in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger, and refugee returnee populations in Senegal. 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 programs that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger or refugee returnees in Senegal, and in the sectors outlined in the country-specific guidelines below. Programs in non-camp areas should pursue a community-based approach that also benefits host communities. It is strongly encouraged that projects mainstream protection, in particular gender-based violence (GBV) risk mitigation, across proposed sectors and activities. Proposals may include host government capacity building as an aspect that supports other refugee assistance/protection activities. PRM strongly recommends submitting multiyear proposals for multiyear activities that build on previous year activities.
