Additional Frequently Asked Questions for FY 2023 R&P NOFO

Question:

Can a Resettlement Agency (RA) partner with an Afghan Placement and Assistance (APA) institutional partner (IP), or a new partner, when applying for the FY23 R&P NOFO? For example, can an RA enter into a sub-agreement with an IP that has never been a national resettlement agency to increase scale and reach via the affiliate model? In the first year, the IP might provide three affiliates, in the second year, six affiliates and in the third year, ten affiliates. At the end of the grant period, the IP would have the option of becoming their own resettlement agency, ceasing resettlement activities, or continuing to partner with the RA in this way.

Answer:

A Resettlement Agency can propose a sub-agreement with an institutional partner as part of their application for the FY 2023 R&P NOFO. The proposal must clearly identify how the primary applicant will manage program and financial reporting, as well as oversight and compliance mechanisms.
