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 must primarily support refugees, in addition to local hosting populations and/or other conflict victims affected by the displacement crisis in Mali, Mauritania, or Niger. 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 and/or refugee returnees in the countries listed in this Notice for Funding Opportunity (NOFO). All proposed programs should target the most vulnerable and underserved groups among the population(s) of concern. Such groups may include, but are not limited to, children, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex (LGBTQI+) individuals; older persons; the sick; persons with disabilities; indigenous persons; and survivors, or those at risk, of gender-based violence. Programs must demonstrate what steps have been taken to meet the specific and unique protection and assistance needs of these vulnerable groups effectively. COVID-19: Proposed activities may also support prevention and response to the health impacts of COVID-19 on populations of concern (POCs) as well as the humanitarian aid workers who serve them. Proposed COVID-19 activities should aim to mitigate and/or address the economic, education, and/or protection impacts of COVID-19, efforts to prepare for, respond to, and recover from setbacks in accessing education due to COVID-19. Proposals requesting COVID-19 funding should address a demonstrated gap in one or more the program areas listed above and must follow the parameters as defined in the country-specific guidelines described below. Please note that proposals must disaggregate COVID-19 activities within all submitted documents, including separate COVID-19 objectives, indicators, and budget lines.
