Grant Description: Current Funding Priorities: Programs will benefit refugees in Kenya and Yemen. While PRM encourages activities that include the local host population, NGOs should concentrate on care/maintenance activities for refugees. At least 50% of beneficiaries must be refugees. Proposals for Kenya may focus on protection, health (including support for disabled persons), water, sanitation, shelter, community services, psychosocial support, prevention of and response to gender-based violence, education, and livelihoods development (including vocational education) in a camp environment. [Please note there will be no separate call for GBV programs for FY 2011.] For Yemen, only programs that support urban refugees in Sana'a focused on education, livelihoods support, and community services will be considered.PRM will give priority 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 (this letter should highlight the gap in services the proposed program is designed to address);- a proven track record in providing proposed assistance both in the country (Kenya or Yemen) and in the sector;- evidence of coordination with the host government, international organizations (IOs) and NGOs working in the same area or sector. [Note: PRM will share budget and project activity information with appropriate ministries, local officials, and other USG entities];- 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;- a budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives and demonstrates co-funding by non-U.S. government sources; - appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations. 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 beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees.- adherence to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance. See FY 2010 General PRM NGO Guidelines for a complete list of sector-specific standards.International Organizations (IOs) that are engaged in programs relevant to the assistance addressed by this PRM funding announcement should ensure that these programs are made known to PRM on or before the closing date of this funding announcement so that PRM can evaluate all IO and NGO programs for funding consideration.As stated in the FY 2010 General PRM NGO Guidelines, PRM looks favorably on cost-sharing efforts and seeks to support projects with a diverse donor base and/or resources from the submitting organization. Funding Limits:PRM will consider projects with funding requested from PRM in the range of $100,000 to $2,000,000; any submissions over this amount will automatically be disqualified. GBV proposals or GBV components of multi-sectoral proposals should not exceed $500,000.For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link.
