Grant Description: Tanzania and Uganda proposals should focus exclusively on life-saving basic assistance in the remaining refugee camps in western Tanzania or refugee settlements in southwestern Uganda. While PRM does not discourage activities that include the local host population, proposals should concentrate on care/maintenance activities for refugees. At least 80% of beneficiaries must be refugees. Priority sectors include: health, water and sanitation, and gender based violence (GBV). Burundi and DRC proposed activities should support the ongoing UNHCR-facilitated repatriation and reintegration of Burundi and DRC refugees (for DRC this includes Katanga and South Kivu). Proposals should focus on areas of high refugee return where new refugee returnees (those who have returned in 2008 and 2009) make up at least 50% of targeted beneficiaries. Priority sectors include: shelter, health/mental health, water/sanitation, livelihood promotion, primary education, and GBV prevention and response. Priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate:(a) a working relationship with UNHCR, current UNHCR funding, and/or a letter of support from UNHCR for the proposed activities and/or overall country program (b)a proven track record in providing proposed assistance both in the sector and specified location;(c)evidence of coordination with international organizations (IOs) and other NGOs working in the same area or sector as well as - where possible - local authorities; (d)a concrete implementation plan with objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound and trackable and (e) appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations. Note: There will not be a separate call for proposals focusing on country-specific programs for prevention and response to gender-based violence (GBV) in the spring, as has been done by PRM in the past. All country-specific GBV programs should be submitted through PRM's regular regional calls for proposals.For more details on this specific opportunity, please click the "Full Announcement" Grants.gov link.
