Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005670
The 2019 South Africa grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005670) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) to support programs assisting refugees and asylum seekers living in South Africa. The focus is on urban locations in key provinces, specifically Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and North West. The central idea is to fund practical, community-based interventions that improve protection and access to help, while also pushing toward longer-term stability and self-reliance for displaced people.
A major priority is strengthening the capacity of national organizations and community structures so they can respond more effectively to refugee and asylum seeker needs. Rather than creating new, separate systems only for refugees, applicants are expected to map what already exists in the community, including government-run services, and then build on those resources. Projects should help people understand what services are available, guide them through how to access those services, and provide solid referral pathways. The opportunity explicitly discourages setting up parallel, refugee-only services where the same type of support already exists for the broader community, since that can undermine sustainability and integration.
PRM also set a clear beneficiary requirement tied to its mandate. Only projects that serve a population made up of at least 50 percent refugees and asylum seekers would be considered for funding. This means proposals need to be designed and documented in a way that demonstrates refugees and asylum seekers are the primary intended recipients, even if the program also reaches some vulnerable members of host communities.
On the funding side, this was a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies closer involvement and oversight by the funding agency than a standard grant. The posting date was March 20, 2019, with an application deadline of April 30, 2019. The maximum award size (ceiling) was USD 500,000, and PRM anticipated making about four awards under this announcement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.517, and eligibility was listed broadly as “Others,” indicating that the detailed eligibility rules were provided in the full announcement rather than being limited to a narrow applicant category in the summary listing.
Overall, the opportunity aimed to fund a small number of relatively substantial projects that improve day-to-day protection and assistance for refugees and asylum seekers in South Africa, while reinforcing existing service systems and building local capacity so the support is more durable and less dependent on creating separate refugee-only structures.Apply for SFOP0005670
