Grant Description: Limited funding is available to support NGOs working in Sudan in support of DRCongolese refugees. Current funding priorities include: (1) Activities that support specifically refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Makpandu, Lasu, and Napere (Ezo) settlements, southern Sudan. Proposals should specify refugee population numbers and/or projections in proposed locations. Priority sectors should include WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), health and nutrition, livelihood (crop production), primary education, and protection including prevention and response to gender-based violence and HIV/AIDS. Target beneficiaries, sectors, and proposed programs should be developed in full coordination with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). (2) Organizations with an existing presence in the location and demonstrated capacity in the proposed sector of intervention. Given the challenging operational environment, organizations that are not already operational in southern Sudan are discouraged from submitting proposals. (3) Interventions that are coordinated with UNHCR and designed to fill gaps in current efforts to provide basic assistance. Interventions must target a minimum of 50% refugees while considering the impact on host communities. All proposals must demonstrate a working relationship with UNHCR as well as UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities. (4) Interventions that are coordinated with the host government and other international and non-governmental organizations working in the area. Note: PRM shares project information with counterparts to identify the most effective interventions and ensure funding that is complementary. (5) Projects with an immediate impact and concrete plan for completion. PRM will accept proposals from any NGO that is able to satisfy these guidelines, although priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate: (1) A concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, and time bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and have at least one outcome or impact indicator per objective that can be measured in a twelve-month timeframe (please see FY 2010 General PRM NGO Guidelines for more on objectives and indicators). Each proposed objective should be followed by a list of quantitative indicators of success. (2) A budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives, includes a budget summary, and demonstrates co-funding by non-PRM sources.
