FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO Programs Benefiting Malian and Nigerian Refugees in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Niger or Refugee Returnees in Mali

(a) Proposed activities should primarily support refugees in Mauritania, Niger, and/or Burkina Faso and/or refugee returnees in Mali as outlined below. (b) Each proposal may only address activities in one country, except for proposals including Mali. Proposals that include refugee returnees in Mali must include activities that are linked to activities benefiting Malian refugees in Burkina Faso or Niger. Organizations that submit proposals which cover activities in Mali and either Burkina Faso or Niger must demonstrate operational presence in both Mali and the other country. Applicants seeking funding for programs in more than one refugee-hosting country (Burkina Faso, Niger, and/or Mauritania) must submit more than one proposal. (c) Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, or Niger. If programming in Mali for returnees is included, at least 50 percent of the beneficiaries must be refugee returnees. For further country-specific provisions, see full funding opportunity notice.
