Grant Description: Limited funding is available to support NGOs working in Sudan in support of southern Sudanese refugee repatriation and reintegration. Current funding priorities: (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, or Ethiopia or elsewhere) of targeted returnee beneficiaries, and can target refugees who have returned to southern Sudan in 2009 or previous years (if proposed activities are to make reintegration more sustainable), as well as those returning in 2010. (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. (d) Proposals must focus on the following sectors: Health, Water and Sanitation, Primary Education and/or Livelihoods. (e) Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM only considers funding projects that include a target direct beneficiary base of at least 50% refugee returnees. (f) Proposals should focus on activities that can produce sustainable results on reintegration within a 12-month period that is expected to include implementation of the final steps in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. (g) PRM will accept proposals from any NGO that is able to satisfy these guidelines although, given our budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate: - a working relationship with UNHCR, current UNHCR funding, and/or a letter of support from UNHCR for the proposed activities and/or overall country program - a proven track record in providing assistance to Sudanese refugee returnees in both the sector(s) and specified location(s) covered in the submission; - evidence of coordination with and support from local authorities for the proposed project (please note that for any NGO project that PRM funds, PRM will share budget and project activity information with appropriate ministries and local authorities in Sudan and with other USG entities involved with reconstruction efforts); - evidence of coordination with International Organizations (IOs) and other NGOs and development organizations in the proposed region or sector of work, a well-developed transition strategy, and sustainability after the conclusion of 12 months of programming; - A budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives and evidence of cost-sharing efforts and a diverse donor base and/or resources from the submitting organization; - appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations supporting reintegration; - a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and at least one outcome indicator per objective; and - appropriate consideration in the implementation plan of programmatic limitations due to the rainy season (approximately May - October). ************************************************* For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link.
