The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is the humanitarian bureau of the State Department. PRM promotes U.S. interests by providing protection, easing suffering, and resolving the plight of persecuted and forcibly displaced people around the world.
The grant program outlined seeks to support projects contributing to self-reliance, addressing statelessness, or innovating within the field of support for refugees, asylum seekers, and stateless persons. The broad goals include promoting sustainable solutions that end the dependent status of these individuals, through means like voluntary return, integration, or resettlement. Recognizing the limited availability and prolonged process of attaining such durable solutions, the program also advocates for interim solutions. Interim solutions encompass efforts aiming at inclusion in key areas like healthcare, education, sustainable housing, labor market access, and livelihoods, as well as facilitating measures towards durable solutions such as securing identity documentation and enhancing freedom of movement.
