Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0003936
The "2018 South Sudan" funding opportunity (SFOP0003936) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) on January 23, 2018, with an application deadline of March 26, 2018. It is a discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to remain more actively involved in the funded project than it would under a standard grant, including coordination on implementation details, oversight, and program direction as needed.
The opportunity focuses on humanitarian programming in South Sudan, with a clear geographic priority: proposed activities are expected to primarily support refugees in the legacy Unity and Upper Nile states. In practical terms, applicants were meant to design services and protection activities that directly benefit displaced and conflict-affected populations in those areas, reflecting PRM's operational emphasis on refugee assistance and protection in settings heavily impacted by conflict and displacement.
A core eligibility and design requirement is that PRM would only consider projects where at least 50 percent of the target beneficiary population consists of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), or other PRM-defined "populations of concern." This condition signals that projects serving the general host community alone would not qualify; instead, the proposal needed to demonstrate that the majority of people reached are refugees and/or other conflict-affected displaced groups. It also implies that mixed-community programs could be eligible so long as displaced populations make up at least half of intended beneficiaries and the activities align with PRM's mandate.
PRM frames its mandate in the description as providing protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict. While the specific activity menu is not detailed in the excerpt, the language indicates that competitive proposals would likely emphasize protection-focused and assistance-oriented interventions tied to displacement, such as services that improve safety and access to rights, basic humanitarian support, and approaches that contribute to longer-term stability or solutions for affected populations, consistent with PRM priorities.
The award ceiling for individual awards was listed at $1,500,000. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0" in the source data, which can indicate that the number of awards was not predetermined or not entered in the system at the time of posting rather than definitively meaning no awards would be made. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.517, and eligibility is categorized broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the provided text.Apply for SFOP0003936
