Grant Description: PRM will prioritize currently available funding for proposed NGO activities that best meet the Bureau's priorities for Tibetan refugees as identified below: (a) Proposed activities should primarily support Tibetan refugees in India, Nepal, and, to a lesser extent, Bhutan. (b) Proposals may include work in one or more the following sectors: protection; reception facilities; health care and technical assistance; nutrition; water and sanitation; shelter; education; vocational training; and livelihoods development. (c) PRM will accept proposals from any NGO working within the above mentioned sectors that meets the PRM and Grants.gov requirements, although, given budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that respond to the points below. - PRM is particularly interested in proposals that address priority public health issues such as tuberculosis and create new livelihood opportunities in the Tibetan community. - To be considered, NGOs must have proven track records in implementing refugee assistance or other humanitarian assistance programs. Higher consideration will be given to organizations that already have well-established operations serving Tibetan populations in South Asia. - Programs must be implemented in coordination with UNHCR and appropriate agencies of host governments as well as the CTA. NGOs are encouraged to submit proposals that complement existing protection and assistance activities for Tibetans in South Asia. - The proposal must reflect appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations. ********* For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link above.
