Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPEU 16 001
The FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs benefiting refugees in the Balkans (Opportunity No. PRM PRMOAPEU 16 001) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). Funding would be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means PRM expects to have substantial involvement in the program as it is carried out (for example, through coordination, technical input, and monitoring). The opportunity was posted on April 7, 2016, with an application deadline of May 9, 2016. The listed award ceiling is $1,100,000.
PRM is seeking proposals that support refugees and returnees in the Balkans, with a strong focus on practical, complementary assistance tied to existing regional efforts and on strengthening the ability of governments and local actors to respond effectively. The announcement lays out two distinct program tracks. Applicants can tailor proposals to one of these tracks based on geography and target population, and both tracks emphasize a mix of capacity building and direct services that address protection and self-reliance needs.
The first track is a regional proposal covering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia. The core intent is to provide complementary support to beneficiaries of the Regional Housing Program (RHP) and to people returning from Kosovo. This regional proposal is expected to go beyond direct aid alone by including capacity-building activities for national and local authorities, helping them better manage and support displaced and returning populations. In addition, PRM explicitly calls for components that provide legal assistance and livelihood programming for populations of concern. In practice, this points to interventions such as helping people navigate documentation and civil registration issues, resolve housing, land, and property matters, access entitlements and services, and strengthen income-generating capacity through employment-related support or small-scale economic activities. The emphasis on complementing the RHP suggests PRM wants applicants to fill gaps around housing solutions (for example, rights, integration support, and economic stability) rather than duplicate housing construction efforts already financed through the RHP.
The second track is focused specifically on returnees to Kosovo. This proposal is centered on strengthening protection and improving the overall response capacity of national and local governments as well as local NGOs that serve returnees. A key element is advocacy and sensitization work aimed at local authorities, with the goal of increasing awareness and responsiveness to the needs and rights of returnees. While capacity building and protection are the main priorities, PRM also allows for some direct assistance to support income generation and includes the possibility of a limited housing reconstruction component. The wording indicates housing reconstruction is not meant to be the primary activity but can be included in a targeted way when it supports sustainable return and protection outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, excluding institutions of higher education as eligible applicant types under this notice). International multilateral organizations, such as UN agencies, are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations that want PRM support for relevant activities are directed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer by the closing date to discuss options outside the Grants.gov submission process.
Overall, PRM is looking for well-scoped NGO proposals that strengthen systems and institutions while also delivering tangible protection, legal, and livelihood support to refugees and returnees in the Balkans, with special attention to RHP-linked populations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Serbia, and to returnee protection and reintegration needs in Kosovo.Apply for PRM PRMOAPEU 16 001
