Grant Description: FY2009 PRM Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO Programs Benefiting Rohingya Refugees Living in Cox's Bazar District, Bangladesh beginning January 1, 2009 - March 1, 2009. Current FY 2009 funding priorities for assistance to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh: (1) Proposed activities in the two official refugee camps, Kutupalong and Nayapara, should support the following priority sectors: a) Expand skills training to include income generating activities, with an emphasis on the development of skills and vocational training to achieve a measure of self-sufficiency and a reasonable livelihood; b) Integrate and expand support to the disabled and psychosocial programming in ongoing health and education services; c) Expand community mobilization programs, especially in support of the existing community-based counseling system for conflict resolution and to prevent gender-based violence; and d) Improve physical infrastructure in the camps, including interior roads. (2) Proposals that incorporate unregistered refugees living outside of the two official camps, Kutupalong and Nayapara, and at the Leda site should link the above priority sectors with the following activities: a) Expand access to justice by strengthening law and order in the sub-districts where the camps are located, specifically to combat gender-based violence and support survivors; and b) Expand access to education for refugee children that would serve both Rohingya and Bangladeshi students, where Rohingyas make up 50% of the targeted beneficiaries. (3) Proposals that promote a holistic, district-wide approach to both registered refugees living inside the camps and unregistered refugees living outside of the camps will be prioritized above other project proposals submitted in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement.
