Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006423
The "2020 South Sudan" funding opportunity (SFOP0006423) is a discretionary grant announcement released by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), focused on humanitarian programming in South Sudan with a clear priority on supporting refugees. The core requirement is that proposed activities must primarily benefit refugee populations inside South Sudan, and PRM will only consider proposals where at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees. In practical terms, applicants need to design programs where refugees are not a secondary or incidental group, but a central focus that meets or exceeds the majority-beneficiary threshold.
This opportunity is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more active partnership role for the U.S. government compared to a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, recipients can generally expect closer coordination, more frequent reporting or consultations, and potentially more involvement from PRM in key aspects of program direction, monitoring, or implementation decisions. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work may not fit neatly into a single conventional sector label and may span multiple humanitarian or protection-related themes, depending on PRM priorities and the needs on the ground.
The award structure indicates an anticipated maximum (ceiling) of $2,000,000 per award, with approximately four awards expected. While the ceiling provides the upper limit, actual award sizes can vary depending on the scope, cost realism, geographic coverage, and demonstrated impact of each proposal, as well as PRM budget considerations. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 19.517, which corresponds to refugee and migration-related assistance programming.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," meaning the applicant pool is not limited to one narrow type of organization, though the specific eligibility details would be clarified in the full announcement under the additional eligibility information section. In many PRM opportunities, this category can include a range of entities such as non-governmental organizations, international organizations, or other qualified non-federal partners with relevant experience, compliance capacity, and the ability to operate in complex humanitarian environments.
The opportunity was created on January 31, 2020, and the original application deadline was March 5, 2020. Overall, the announcement is straightforward: proposals must be South Sudan-based, must prioritize refugees, and must demonstrate that refugees make up at least half of the target beneficiary population, with funding available at up to $2 million per project under a cooperative agreement mechanism administered by PRM.Apply for SFOP0006423
