Grant Description: Activities in Kenya. Activities may include the local host population, however, NGOs should concentrate on care/maintenance activities for refugees in the camps/settlements.Proposals should focus on the following sectors: health, water and sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, education (pre-primary), psychosocial support, and support programs for people with disabilities. Programs for Sudanese refugees should be designed to ensure that they do not undercut repatriation efforts. They should also anticipate program closure at the end of 12 months as refugees repatriate. 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 and 2007/2008 UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities and/or overall program;-a proven track record in providing proposed assistance in the Kenya and in the sector;-evidence of coordination with the host government and other international and non-governmental organizations working in the area of activity;-appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR, the host government, and other relevant organizations.************************************************For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link above.
