Child Protection

General Guidance: Early childhood (ages 0-5) is a critical stage of human development, the time when nurturing and loving care by caregivers lays the foundation for life-long well-being. PRM recognizes that trauma stemming from forced displacement puts refugee children at greater risk of toxic stress leading to long term negative impacts on their physical, mental, and emotional development. Programming specifically for refugee children on the move continues to be a challenge in the global child protection response, specifically for early childhood development, given the transitory nature and high stress environments. PRM seeks proposals that support innovative approaches to building the resilience of children on the move, ages 0-5 years of age, through early childhood development interventions, including but not limited to support for caregivers, play based care, and social emotional wellbeing and learning. Proposals should focus on utilizing new approaches in diverse locations to test and demonstrate effectiveness of new ideas or best practices, which can be further replicated with adaptation, depending on country/regional contexts. Proposals to evaluate the effectiveness of such approaches will also be considered. Single country service provision proposals will not be considered.
Duration of Activity: Program plans for one year will be considered.
Period of Performance: Program period of performance of one-year (12 month) will be considered.
Funding limits: Program proposals must not be less than the funding floor and not more than the funding ceiling per year or they will be disqualified.
Funding floor per award (lowest $$ value): $500,000
Funding ceiling per award (highest $$ value): $800,000
Note: Funding ceilings and floors pertain to the PRM cost per year.
