Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009490
The 2023 Egypt NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009490) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), offered through a Cooperative Agreement mechanism. It is meant to be read and used alongside PRM's General NGO Guidelines, which spell out PRM's broader priorities, compliance expectations, and overall NGO funding strategy. The notice makes it clear that applicants are expected to align tightly with both the General NGO Guidelines and the Egypt-specific requirements in this announcement; submissions that do not follow those requirements or do not fit PRM priorities will not move forward for consideration.
The geographic focus is Egypt, and the core intent is to support refugee populations located there. PRM emphasizes its mandate around protection, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and conflict-affected people, and it applies a firm participation requirement: PRM will only consider proposals where at least 50 percent of the target participants are refugees. Applicants are expected to explicitly describe and quantify who they will serve by providing a participant breakdown that distinguishes among Syrian refugees, non-Syrian refugees, and members of the host community. While host community support can be included, it cannot outweigh the refugee focus because the refugee proportion must remain at or above the 50 percent threshold. Within that structure, PRM indicates that preference will be given to programs that reach the most vulnerable populations, signaling that proposals should clearly define vulnerability criteria and show how the project design prioritizes high-need individuals and households.
Programmatically, proposals must align with one or more of PRM's stated program areas for this opportunity: Humanitarian Protection and Assistance, and/or Interim and Durable Solutions. In practical terms, that means PRM is looking for activities that either (1) help refugees meet urgent protection and assistance needs in ways that reduce risk and improve safety and well-being, and/or (2) support pathways toward longer-term stability and solutions, whether through interim steps that strengthen self-reliance and access to services or through durable solutions consistent with PRM's mission. The NOFO does not list specific sub-sectors in the excerpt provided, but the framing makes clear that projects should be built around PRM's protection-centered approach and should describe how activities contribute to safer conditions, improved access to essential services, and progress toward sustainable outcomes for refugees in Egypt.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on March 15, 2023, with an original closing date of April 19, 2023. The listed award ceiling is $800,000. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other" (with clarification referenced in the full notice), and eligibility is listed as "Others" (with additional detail also referenced in the full eligibility section). The CFDA/assistance listing number associated with the opportunity is 19.517. Although the posting lists "Expected Awards: 0" in the extracted data, the intent of the notice is still to solicit compliant, aligned proposals for PRM consideration under the terms described. Overall, the main takeaway is that applicants need to demonstrate a refugee-majority caseload in Egypt, provide a clear participant composition by refugee subgroup and host community, and propose protection- and solutions-oriented programming that matches PRM's General NGO Guidelines and priorities.Apply for SFOP0009490
