Grant Description: Limited funding is available NGO Programs in Sudan Benefiting Southern Sudanese Refugees, Refugee Returnees and Receiving Communities. Current Funding Priorities for Southern Sudan: (1) Proposed activities should support Sudanese refugee reintegration via programs in return communities in Jonglei State, Eastern Equatoria State, and Upper Nile State of southern Sudan. PRM will consider reintegration activities in the following areas: health, primary education, water/sanitation, mine awareness education, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, and livelihoods training and establishment. PRM will not support NGO projects in FY09 that focus on information campaigns, civic education projects, "go and see" visits or other activities to prepare refugees in countries of asylum for returns. (2) Proposals should focus on areas of high refugee return where refugee returnees make up at least 50% of targeted beneficiaries in communities in Jonglei, Eastern Equatoria, and/or Upper Nile States. Proposals should specify current and projected refugee returnee population numbers in proposed locations as documented by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Southern Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (SSRRC), and/or local authorities. (3) PRM will accept proposals from any NGO that is able to satisfy these guidelines although, given our budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate: a working relationship with UNHCR and UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities and/or overall country program; a proven track record in providing assistance to Sudanese refugee returnees in both the sector(s) and specified location(s) covered in the submission; evidence of coordination with and support from local authorities for proposed project (please note that for any NGO project that PRM funds, PRM will share budget and project activity information with appropriate ministries and county commissioners in southern Sudan and with other USG entities involved with reconstruction efforts in southern Sudan); evidence of coordination with development organizations in the proposed region of work and a well-developed transition strategy; appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations supporting reintegration; and appropriate consideration in implementation plan of programmatic limitations due to the rainy season (approximately May - October).
