## What the grant funds

As of December 15th, no more than 50% from the $135.7 million financial requirement of the UNHCR 2023 operation were funded. Therefore, a large gap had remained infilled. Challenges were considerable, and refugees’ needs could not be entirely met in some areas[1]. Julia Taft Refugee Fund supports one-time, low-cost interventions that address important gaps in protection and assistance for refugees. PRM launched this initiative in 2000 under former PRM Assistant Secretary Julia Taft to provide Ambassadors with the means to respond to critical humanitarian gaps not addressed by international humanitarian organizations and NGOs through local and national humanitarian organizations. Have you identified a gap in humanitarian assistance in an area in Niger? The Julia Taft Fund is here to support local or national NGOs fill those gaps. The U.S. Embassy Niamey announces an open competition for local/national organizations to submit applications to carry out humanitarian projects that seek to provide assistance to vulnerable refugees and returnees in Niger.
