Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005640
The "2019 Egypt" funding opportunity (SFOP0005640) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), created on March 6, 2019, with an original application deadline of April 19, 2019. Awards are expected to be made through cooperative agreements, which typically means PRM anticipates an active role in coordination, oversight, and engagement during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant arrangement. The funding is listed under CFDA 19.517, and the activity category is labeled "Other," implying proposals can span multiple sectors as long as they clearly align with PRM priorities and the protection-centered mandate described in the notice.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to support refugee populations in Egypt, with a clear requirement that proposed activities primarily benefit refugees and not operate as general community development projects. Applicants are required to present a detailed beneficiary breakdown showing the proportions of Syrian refugees, non-Syrian refugees, and host community members reached by the program. PRM is explicit that, due to its mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, it will only consider projects where at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees. In practice, this sets a firm threshold: programs may include host community components, but refugees must remain the majority of the target population, and the proposal needs to quantify and justify those proportions.
Within that overall refugee focus, PRM signals that selection will prioritize programs that reach the most vulnerable populations. While the notice does not list specific vulnerability criteria, the language generally points toward people facing elevated protection risks and barriers to services, such as survivors of violence, women and girls at risk, unaccompanied or separated children, persons with disabilities, and others facing heightened insecurity or exclusion. Proposals are therefore expected to show how vulnerability is identified and used for targeting, and how services and referral pathways will address those needs in a safe and accessible way.
A major thematic requirement is stronger mainstreaming of protection across all proposed sectors and activities. PRM specifically calls out gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, as well as child protection, and expects these elements to be integrated rather than treated as side activities. That means proposals should describe how protection principles are built into program design and delivery, how staff are trained, how safe and confidential approaches are used for sensitive cases, and how survivors and at-risk children are identified and referred to appropriate services. Even if the project is not solely a GBV or child protection project, PRM expects those concerns to be addressed as cross-cutting priorities embedded in the work.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $800,000 per award and an expectation of up to four awards. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility information referenced in the full notice, suggesting that a range of organization types may apply provided they meet PRM and federal assistance requirements. Overall, the opportunity is designed for implementers that can demonstrate a refugee-majority beneficiary base in Egypt, provide clear population breakdowns (Syrian, non-Syrian, and host community), prioritize the most vulnerable, and show credible, concrete integration of protection, GBV prevention and response, and child protection throughout the program.Apply for SFOP0005640
