Grant Description: Limited funding is available to support NGOs working in southern Sudan (Jonglei and Upper Nile States) in support of Sudanese refugee repatriation and reintegration via return communities.PRM will consider activities supporting the following sectors: protection, health, primary education, water/sanitation, mine awareness education, food security, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, and livelihoods development. Proposals should focus on areas of high refugee return where refugee returnees make up at least 50% of targeted beneficiaries in communities in Jonglei and Upper Nile States. Proposals should specify current and projected refugee returnee population numbers in proposed locations as documented by UN OCHA, UNHCR, SSRRC, and/or local authorities.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: (1) a working relationship with UNHCR and 2007-08 UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities and/or overall country program; (2) a proven track record in providing assistance to Sudanese refugee returnees in both the sector and specified location covered in the submission; (3) evidence of coordination with and support from local authorities for proposed project (please note PRM will share budget and project activity information with appropriate ministries and county commissioners in southern Sudan); (4) evidence of coordination with development organizations in the proposed region of work and a well-developed transition strategy; and (5) appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations supporting reintegration.For more details on this specific opportunity, please click on the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link above.
