Closing Date: December 6,2012:
Program plans for protection,
including prevention of and response to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV)
in urban refugee and refugee settlement communities in Uganda should be for no
more than 12 months. Applicants
must re-compete for PRM funding each year. Furthermore, in funding a project
one year, PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the
project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of
donors to ensure long-term funding possibilities.
Program plans from 12 to 24 months will be considered for activities
addressing protracted needs in Tanzania and Rwanda. Applicants may submit
multi-year proposals with activities and budgets that do not exceed 24 months
from the proposed start date. Actual
awards will not exceed 12 months in duration. Multi-year proposals
selected for funding by PRM will be funded in 12-month increments and must
include results-based indicators within the first 12 months. Continued funding
after the initial 12-month award requires the submission of a noncompeting
continuation application as detailed in the Noncompeting Application Requirements
section below and will be contingent upon available funding, strong
performance, and continuing need. NGOs receiving awards under these terms will
be required to submit continuation applications at least three months in advance of the end of the first 12-month
period of activities. Please see Multi-Year Funding section below for
additional information.
Eligible Applicants:
(1) Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than
institutions of higher education;
(2) Nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with
IRS, other than institutions of higher education; and
(3) International
Organizations. 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.
Current Country Specific Funding Priorities and Instructions: PRM will prioritize available
funding for Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda as identified below. All proposals
should target beneficiaries as identified in collaboration with UNHCR and local
authorities.
(1) Tanzania
and Rwanda
· Proposals
for Tanzania should
focus on life-saving basic preventative and curative healthcare assistance, and
protection for vulnerable groups and individuals, including prevention and
response for sexual and gender-based violence, in Nyaragusu refugee camp in
western Tanzania.
· Proposals
for Rwanda should
focus on camp management, basic preventative and curative healthcare
assistance, water and sanitation, and sexual and gender-based violence
prevention and response for refugees.
· While PRM
does not discourage activities that also include the local host population
along with refugees, proposals should concentrate on activities for refugees.
At least 80% of beneficiaries must be refugees.
(2) Uganda
· Proposals
for Uganda should focus
on sexual and gender-based violence prevention and response targeting
vulnerable groups, including LGBTI individuals, in urban refugee communities
and in the refugee settlements in western Uganda.
· Proposals
can choose to focus on assistance to either the refugee settlements or to urban
refugee communities. While PRM does not discourage activities that also include
the local host population along with refugees, proposals should concentrate on
activities for refugees. At least 80% of beneficiaries must be refugees with
the remainder, if any, being vulnerable individuals in host communities.
