The document provides a recommended budget narrative template for organizations applying for funding through PRM. It outlines how to detail costs associated with various budget categories required for program implementation, whether sourced from PRM or multiple donors. Each section of the budget narrative must correspond with the budget detail and include specifics for personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual obligations, construction, and other direct expenses, across multi-year proposals. Key elements include outlining personnel roles with salary justifications, detailing travel itineraries, justifying equipment purchases, and presenting ancillary costs such as office rent. Additionally, indirect costs must be calculated and reported alongside the necessary agreements. This template serves as a structured guide to ensure clarity, transparency, and compliance with federal and state funding requirements while facilitating comprehensive financial planning for proposed programs. It emphasizes the importance of accurately reflecting program needs and anticipated expenses to facilitate effective funding assessments.
This document serves as a template for budgeting proposals related to multiple projects under federal grants and requests for proposals (RFPs). The outlined structure includes sections for organizations to specify project names, locations, and various cost categories for multiple years of funding. Key areas such as personnel costs, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual obligations, construction, and other direct costs are highlighted, with fields designated for PRM (Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration) costs and cost-sharing contributions.
Each cost category is detailed to ensure proper allocation and reporting, enabling assessments and budget justifications for objectives set by the project. The structure encourages transparency in financial planning, outlining costs by program objectives, which may include sectors such as health, education, and protection. Moreover, it specifies the requirement for tracking costs related to gender-based violence (GBV) and assigns responsibility for identifying costs in different countries if applicable. The template promotes compliance with federal guidelines while facilitating effective resource management for organizations applying for funding.
The Proposal for PRM Funding details the requirements for organizations seeking multi-year program funding from the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It emphasizes the necessity for a clear and concise proposal narrative, limited to 17 pages, detailing program information, objectives, target populations, budget, and innovative aspects. Applicants must conduct a gap analysis to outline current needs, showcase monitoring and evaluation plans, and ensure accountability to affected populations. The proposal structure includes sections on participant targeting, program implementation, and sustainability plans, along with a focus on gender dynamics and local capacity strengthening. Key prerequisites include thorough documentation, such as budget tables, SF-424 forms, and protection from sexual exploitation measures. The overarching goal is to ensure comprehensive justification for funding allocations while enhancing support for vulnerable populations through strategic partnerships and stakeholder coordination. The document serves as a guide for organizations to effectively submit proposals that meet PRM's specific criteria, ultimately supporting humanitarian efforts across targeted regions.
The document outlines a Risk Assessment and Security Plan Template required by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) for federal grants and RFPs. Its main purpose is to guide partners in identifying and mitigating risks associated with proposed programs, particularly in contexts affected by crime, violence, and the presence of sanctioned groups or terrorist actors.
Key components include a thorough risk assessment that categorizes risks impacting personnel safety, program effectiveness, legal compliance, and information technology. Partners must analyze the likelihood and potential impact of risks, followed by mitigation strategies, including adherence to ethical policies and safeguards against local authority interference.
In environments with sanctioned or terrorist actors, organizations need to specify their protections against irregularities with procurement and staff screening and ensure no benefits accrue to these entities. Additionally, a detailed security plan covering contextual, threat, and vulnerability analyses must be submitted, highlighting emergency procedures and risk reduction measures.
Overall, the document emphasizes ongoing risk management and necessitates comprehensive planning to ensure program and personnel safety in complex operational environments, aligning with federal expectations for responsible grant management.
The document outlines the instructions for filling out the PRM Indicator Table for FY 2024 as part of the funding application process for humanitarian programs. It highlights the use of a standardized Excel template for tracking indicators related to program objectives, targets, and impact assessment. Mandatory and recommended indicators are specified, including required figures for individuals reached and funds distributed to local organizations. Additionally, partners are instructed to provide baseline values and set achievable targets, ensuring that indicators reflect unique participant counts without duplication across years. The document emphasizes the importance of data consistency and reporting frequency, along with guidelines for making modifications or exemptions to proposed indicators. This structured approach aims to facilitate monitoring and evaluation of humanitarian assistance initiatives, ensuring compliance with PRM guidelines and improving overall program effectiveness.
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) has issued FY 2024 guidelines for NGOs seeking overseas assistance.
