Opportunity Information: Apply for NIGER TAFT GRANT 2024
The PRM FY2023 Julia Taft Refugee Fund opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NIGER TAFT GRANT 2024) is a U.S. Mission to Niger grant competition designed to help close urgent, specific humanitarian gaps affecting refugees and returnees in Niger. It is rooted in the reality that humanitarian needs are outpacing available resources. The notice points to UNHCRs Niger operation being significantly underfunded in 2023 (only a portion of the 135.7 million requirement funded as of mid-December), which has left critical shortfalls and made it difficult to fully meet refugees needs in certain locations and sectors. This funding is meant to be a practical tool for addressing those shortfalls with targeted, affordable interventions.
At its core, the Julia Taft Refugee Fund supports one-time, low-cost projects that respond to clearly identified gaps in protection and assistance for vulnerable refugee and returnee populations. The fund was launched in 2000 by the U.S. State Departments Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), named after former PRM Assistant Secretary Julia Taft, to give U.S. Ambassadors a flexible way to respond when major international humanitarian agencies and larger NGOs are unable to cover particular needs. In other words, it is intended to fill overlooked or under-resourced areas where a relatively small grant can make a meaningful, immediate difference.
This specific call is issued by the U.S. Embassy in Niamey and is open only to local or national non-governmental organizations, emphasizing locally led solutions and implementation capacity inside Niger. Applicants are expected to propose humanitarian projects that directly assist refugees and returnees, with a focus on vulnerability and unmet needs. While the announcement does not list specific sectors, the framing makes clear that proposals should be driven by evidence of a concrete gap in services or protection and should explain why existing humanitarian actors are not already addressing it adequately.
The award structure is intentionally small and focused. The funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity is discretionary, and the award ceiling is USD 25,000. The opportunity anticipates making a single award, meaning the competition is likely to be selective and centered on the strongest, most clearly justified project concept. The original application deadline is March 1, 2024, and the opportunity record was created on February 6, 2024. The listing also includes CFDA number 19.517 and identifies the eligible applicant category broadly as "Others," clarified in the narrative as local or national NGOs.
Overall, this opportunity is best suited for a Nigerien organization that can quickly implement a contained, one-off intervention with a clear start and end, strong justification based on documented needs, and direct benefits for refugees and returnees. Competitive proposals will likely be those that pinpoint a specific service gap, propose a realistic and measurable response within the USD 25,000 limit, and demonstrate the local access and operational ability to deliver results where broader humanitarian financing has fallen short.Apply for NIGER TAFT GRANT 2024
