Proposals may focus on protection, health, water, sanitation, shelter, education, community services, psychosocial support, and livelihoods development and training. 2. PRM will give priority to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate: - a working relationship with UNHCR in country and UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities ; - a proven track record in providing proposed refugee assistance in 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.
