FY 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO Programs Advancing Interim and Durable Solutions

This announcement is designed to accompany PRM’s General NGO Guidelines, which contain additional information on PRM’s priorities and NGO funding strategy with which selected organizations must comply. Please use both the General NGO Guidelines and this announcement to ensure that your submission is in full compliance with PRM requirements and that the proposed activities are in line with PRM’s priorities. Submissions that do not reflect the requirements outlined in these guidelines will not be considered. Proposed activities must contribute to global learning and/or advancement of best practices on interim and durable solutions for refugees, asylum seekers, and/or stateless persons. Specifically, this NOFO seeks proposals addressing one of three themes: Self-reliance, Statelessness, or Innovation.Durable solutions end an individual’s refugee or stateless status, such as through voluntary return and reintegration, local integration, or resettlement in another country. Given that access to durable solutions remains limited for a majority of refugees and stateless persons and the timeframe to access a durable solution is often protracted and uncertain, PRM also supports access to interim solutions. Interim solutions can be understood as efforts that support inclusion in host country national services such as health care, education, or sustainable housing. It may also, for instance, contribute to self-reliance by supporting access to labor markets and livelihoods, or advance measures that contribute to durable solutions such as identity documentation or addressing freedom of movement.Applicants with technical questions related to this announcement should contact the PRM staff listed below prior to submission.Statelessness: Carmen Wilke, wilkecl@state.govSelf-Reliance: Ellen Lee, leeek3@state.govInnovation: Katherine Armeier, armeierk@state.gov
