FY 2011 PRM Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO Programs in Sudan Benefiting Southern Sudanese Refugee Returnees and Receiving Communities and NGO Programs in Sudan Benefiting Congolese and CAR Refugees: Current Funding Priorities for Refugee Reintegration: (a) Proposed activities should attract and/or support the return and reintegration of Sudanese refugees via programs in return communities in southern Sudan. (b) Proposals should comment on the point of refuge (i.e., refugee camps in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, or elsewhere) of targeted returnee beneficiaries and should address the needs of those who have returned since 2009. (c) Proposed activities may also target areas of potential return, with the inclusion of an analysis of the reasonable prospect for returns to the targeted geographic area. Priority will be given to Eastern Equatoria, Upper Nile, and Jonglei States, given the provenance of the remaining southern Sudanese refugees. (d) Proposals must focus on activities from among the following sectors: Health, Water and Sanitation, Primary Education, Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Prevention and Assistance, and/or Livelihoods. NOTE: PRM is transitioning away from return and reintegration programming in southern Sudan and will likely not be able to support start-up projects. Please note that PRM does not expect to be able to maintain recent year funding levels for return and reintegration activities. Current Funding Priorities for Congolese and CAR Refugees in Sudan: (a) Activities should support refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Central African Republic in Makpandu, Lasu, and Napere (Ezo) settlements, southern Sudan. Proposals should specify refugee population numbers and/or projections in proposed locations. (b) Priority sectors include WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), health and nutrition, livelihoods (crop-production), primary education, and protection including prevention and response to GBV 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).
