Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005746
The 2019 Turkey Non-Syrians grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005746) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) as a discretionary funding opportunity to support refugee and asylum-seeker assistance in Turkey, with a clear emphasis on non-Syrian populations. The opportunity was designed for programs serving Iraqi, Afghan, and other International Protection applicants and status holders living in Turkey, and it set a strict targeting requirement: at least 51 percent of the direct beneficiary base had to be non-Syrian refugees or asylum seekers. The remaining share, up to 49 percent, could include other groups PRM considers populations of concern, such as Syrians, Uighurs, and potentially members of the host community. A key compliance expectation was that proposals explicitly spell out the intended beneficiary profile and provide a percentage breakdown by population group so that PRM could verify alignment with the non-Syrian majority requirement.
Programmatically, PRM limited proposals to one or more of three sectors: protection, livelihoods, and core relief items/cash-based initiatives. For protection programming, PRM emphasized legal and physical protection and practical access to services, with material assistance reserved for the most vulnerable cases. The grant language makes it clear that direct support to highly vulnerable refugees might be necessary in situations where existing services are unavailable or insufficient to cover basic needs, but applicants were expected to justify that assistance and show how it fits within a protection approach rather than being stand-alone aid. Proposals needed to describe, in concrete terms, how beneficiaries would be identified and prioritized, and how the assistance package would be tailored to different needs rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all model. PRM also underscored the idea of protection through self-reliance, encouraging interventions that strengthen refugees ability to navigate systems and meet needs over time. Another important design principle was to build on existing local structures and services, and to avoid setting up parallel, refugee-only systems that could duplicate local capacity or create isolated service tracks.
Core relief items, cash assistance, and capacity development were eligible, but only when integrated into a broader program focused on protection and/or livelihoods (or otherwise clearly anchored in the listed sectors). In other words, distributions or cash-based help were not positioned as an independent project type; they were expected to complement a wider strategy, such as enabling access to essential services, stabilizing vulnerable households while legal or protection casework proceeds, or supporting pathways toward self-reliance.
For livelihoods proposals, PRM signaled a preference for activities that connect training to real employment opportunities rather than offering training in isolation. The opportunity specifically highlighted vocational training tied to employable skills, including options suitable for older youth, and implied that applicants should demonstrate how training content matches market demand and how participants will be supported in translating skills into actual jobs or income-generating opportunities. Overall, the funding priorities point toward practical, outcomes-driven programming that reduces protection risks and dependency over time, while remaining connected to and reinforcing existing local systems.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on April 11, 2019, with an original closing date of May 10, 2019. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, indicating PRM likely anticipated substantial involvement in program oversight, coordination, or ongoing collaboration during implementation. The listed award ceiling was $800,000. The opportunity referenced CFDA 19.520, and eligibility was categorized broadly with additional clarification referenced in the source notice.Apply for SFOP0005746
