Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 17 005
The FY 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for NGO programs benefiting refugees in South Sudan (Funding Opportunity Number: PRM PRMOAPAF 17 005) was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It is a discretionary funding opportunity that would be implemented through a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from the U.S. government in program oversight, coordination, and monitoring compared with a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the CFDA number 19.517 and was created on January 18, 2017, with an original application deadline of March 21, 2017.
The program focus is explicitly geographic and population-based. Proposed activities were expected to primarily support refugees located in South Sudan's legacy Unity and Upper Nile states, areas heavily affected by displacement and conflict dynamics. PRM's mandate centers on protection, life-saving assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and conflict-affected populations. In line with that mandate, PRM set a clear eligibility standard for project design: the target beneficiary base had to be at least 50 percent refugees. In practice, that requirement is a gating criterion for funding consideration, so applicants would need to structure targeting, outreach, and monitoring in a way that demonstrates the refugee majority in their participant caseload and reporting.
Eligibility was aimed at non-governmental organizations and other non-federal entities rather than UN bodies applying through the standard portal. Eligible applicants included U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education), and other eligible entities as allowed by the announcement. A key procedural point in the NOFO is that international multilateral organizations, including United Nations agencies, were instructed not to submit proposals through Grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations seeking support for relevant programming were directed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer by or before the closing date, indicating a separate engagement and submission pathway for those institutions.
In terms of funding scale, the announced award ceiling was $1,500,000 per award. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards" without a specific number in the provided source, implying that the final number of awards would depend on available funding, proposal quality, and program priorities at the time. Overall, the opportunity was designed to channel PRM support to NGO-led interventions in key refugee-hosting or refugee-affected parts of South Sudan, while enforcing a strong refugee-focused targeting requirement and a separate process for UN and other multilateral applicants.Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 17 005
