Approximately 1,000 of these families are originally from Kabul and will be settled at Bari Kab. The remaining families will be assisted in returning to their place of origin. In Logar, Nangarhar, Herat, and Balkh Provinces, the GOA is surveying sites and selecting beneficiaries for land distribution. PROPOSAL FOCUS AND GUIDANCE: These projects are intended to provide permanent integrated shelter for displaced Afghans on land donated by the GOA in the provinces of Kabul, Logar, Nangarhar, Herat, and Balkh. PRM is seeking proposals that would provide integrated shelter for the over 2,500 landless families in Kabul Province and for approximately 1,000 vulnerable families from the beneficiary population in Logar, Nangarhar, Herat, and Balkh Provinces. Proposals should focus on the viability of the settlements and pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable individuals, including female heads of household, the disabled, and families with children.
