This Notice of Funding Opportunity seeks global initiatives that advance humanitarian protection for refugees, asylum seekers, and/or stateless persons.
Concept notes can include activities that advance protection through:
strengthening capacity, advocacy, creating and sharing best practice
credit:
and tools, coordination, and other activities that promote humanitarian protection are also welcome.
Proposed activities must have relatively broad impact on humanitarian responses and show clear, positive outcomes at the field level.
PRM will not consider concept notes focused on a single country or those without global impact.
Concept notes can address general humanitarian protection or focus on the following specific protection themes:
persons with disabilities, stateless persons, LGBTQI+ persons, older persons, child protection, and mental health and psychosocial support.
PRM defines protection as:
“Measures to safeguard the rights of PRM populations of concern by seeking to prevent or end patterns of violence or abuse; alleviate the trauma and related effects of violence or abuse; identify and promote durable solutions; foster respect for refugee, humanitarian, and human rights law; and ensure that humanitarian actions uphold human dignity, benefit the most vulnerable, and do not harm affected populations.” Organizations can apply as consortia.
For this notice, PRM defines consortia as a group of at least three organizations that form an agreement to undertake an assistance activity beyond the resources of any one member.
