PRM NGO Projects in the Balkans: Funding is available to support non-governmental organizations (NGO) activities that best meet the Bureau's priorities, as listed below, for refugees and displaced persons in Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina and for spontaneous returns to Kosovo of displaced persons and refugee. (a) Proposed activities should primarily support refugees or displaced persons (DPs) in Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina or returned refugees and DPs in Kosovo. (b) Proposals must focus on the following sectors: Protection, Shelter and Infrastructure, and/or Livelihoods. (c) Country Specific Instructions In FY10, PRM's funding priority is to support the following: 1. Reintegration of spontaneous returnees to Kosovo. Proposals should include some of the following components: Livelihoods/subsistence income generation assistance (e.g., farm animals, agricultural equipment, carpentry tools, equipment for retail or service activities); Training courses and/or other mentoring activities to enhance technical and management, and/or entrepreneurial skills. Minor shelter repairs for spontaneously returnees to Kosovo. Proposals may include a small number of category IV and V reconstructions. 2. Integration of displaced persons from Kosovo in Serbia. Proposals must include some of the following components: a) Legal Services to assist displaced persons to pursue claims through KTA related to privatization of socially-owned companies in Kosovo; deliver of rendered decisions of the Kosovo Property Agency; assist refugees to resolve legal cases related to displacement, e.g. housing, property damage, or pension claims; b) Livelihoods/subsistence income generation assistance (e.g., farm animals, agricultural equipment, carpentry tools, equipment for retail or service activities); c) Training courses and/or other mentoring activities to enhance technical and management, and/or entrepreneurial skills. d) Minor shelter repairs. 3.
