About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy in Niamey, Niger announces a grant opportunity through the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration Julia Taft Refugee Fund. Local and national NGOs in Niger may apply for funding between $10,000 and $25,000 to support one-time, low-cost humanitarian assistance projects addressing protection and assistance gaps for refugees or returnees, who must represent at least 50% of beneficiaries. Applications are due by March 1, 2024 and will be evaluated based on organizational experience, project design, budgets, and evaluation plans. Selected projects will begin by July 1, 2024 and be funded through the State Department's Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa under Assistance Listing 19.517.
Awards between $10,000 and $25,000 will be granted to 1-2 local or national NGOs located in Niger to carry out approved humanitarian projects benefiting vulnerable refugees and returnees in Niger from July 1, 2024 through the end of the award period. Funding must be used to address important gaps in humanitarian assistance through localized interventions for displaced populations within Niger.
Synopsis
As of December 15th, no more than 50% from the $135.7 million financial requirement of the UNHCR 2023 operation were funded. Therefore, a large gap had remained infilled. Challenges were considerable, and refugees' needs could not be entirely met in some areas[1].
Julia Taft Refugee Fund supports one-time, low-cost interventions that address important gaps in protection and assistance for refugees. PRM launched this initiative in 2000 under former PRM Assistant Secretary Julia Taft to provide Ambassadors with the means to respond to critical humanitarian gaps not addressed by international humanitarian organizations and NGOs through local and national humanitarian organizations.
Have you identified a gap in humanitarian assistance in an area in Niger? The Julia Taft Fund is here to support local or national NGOs fill those gaps.
The U.S. Embassy Niamey announces an open competition for local/national organizations to submit applications to carry out humanitarian projects that seek to provide assistance to vulnerable refugees and returnees in Niger.
