Grant Description: In FY2009, PRM anticipates providing $1.7 million to fund NGO programs in the Balkans. PRM will prioritize currently available funding for proposed NGO activities that best meet the Bureau's priorities in Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia, and Montenegro as identified below: To receive priority consideration, proposals should seek to facilitate sustainable minority returns to Kosovo from Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia; and/or assist local integration to displaced persons in Montenegro and Serbia. Additionally, all proposals must include a component addressing the provision of rapid-response, gap-filling, emergency assistance in the event of any humanitarian crisis in the region. (This component would not require dedicated funds; rather, awardees would be expected to redirect personnel and available resources to an emergency effort.) This assistance would be provided on an as-needed basis to displaced individuals in full coordination with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and relevant host government authorities. Emergency assistance could include: food, clothing, basic household supplies, transportation, temporary shelter, or assistance to "host" families that are accommodating displaced persons. PRM anticipates funding at least one NGO project from each of the two categories listed below. Individual proposals for cross border activities may not exceed $850,000 in PRM-requested funding; and proposals for income generation/legal assistance in Serbia and/or Montenegro may not exceed $850,000 in PRM-requested funding ****************************************** For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link.
