Requests to provide funding to populations other than refugees/returnees are discouraged, but exceptions can be made in some regions with “populations of concern” to PRM, such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable migrants, and stateless persons.
The Taft Refugee Fund is intended for projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 per cent refugees or returnees.
Consideration for support is also given to projects that benefit both populations of concern and their host communities.
The fund is not meant as an emergency fund and these should be one-time interventions, not sustained programs.
Applicants must be a registered organization (e.g.: NGO, community-based organization; faith-based organization).
Local NGOs will be given priority.
