Opportunity Information: Apply for AFYDE JTF GR POLECON 2020
The Julia Taft Refugee Notice of Funding Opportunity (AFYDE JTF GR POLECON 2020) is a small-grants program run by the Political and Economic Section of the U.S. Embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon, under CFDA 19.517. It seeks proposals for practical, innovative projects that improve the social welfare of refugees or returnees in Cameroon's crisis-affected regions. Projects may also be designed to benefit both refugees/returnees and the communities hosting them, but the program is clearly refugee-centered: refugees must make up 80 percent of the direct beneficiaries in mixed-beneficiary projects. Applications that primarily target internally displaced persons (IDPs), stateless persons, or vulnerable migrants are explicitly excluded and will not be considered under this funding opportunity.
The program is flexible about the kinds of interventions it will support, as long as they directly address refugee or returnee social welfare needs. Proposals may focus on one or more sectors such as WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), education, health, vocational training, income-generating activities, or other closely related social issues that respond to refugee or returnee vulnerabilities and living conditions. The emphasis on "innovative" projects suggests the Embassy is looking for approaches that are adaptive to local realities, capable of producing clear, near-term benefits, and well tailored to the crisis-affected settings where refugees and returnees live.
Eligibility is limited to locally registered Cameroonian organizations, including community-based organizations (CBOs), associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and applicants must have at least two years of experience working in Cameroon. The opportunity also includes notable restrictions: organizations that received Julia Taft funding in the previous year are normally not eligible to apply for the current year's funds, and any organization with a history of poor performance on U.S. government grants is ineligible. These requirements signal a preference for credible local implementers with demonstrated capacity and compliance, while also aiming to spread support among different local actors across years.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $25,000, placing it in the small-grant category and implying that proposals should be scoped for focused, measurable activities rather than large-scale multi-year programming. The original application closing date was January 20, 2020, and the funding agency is the U.S. Mission to Cameroon.Apply for AFYDE JTF GR POLECON 2020
