PRM NGO projects in Great Lakes/Central Africa

archived

Limited funding is available to support the repatriation and reintegration of Burundi and DRC refugees and/or necessary care and maintenance for refugees in camps/settlements (Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda). Priority sectors include: protection, shelter, health, water/sanitation, livelihood promotion, primary education, and gender-based violence prevention and response. Repatriation and reintegration proposals should focus on areas of high refugee return where new refugee returnees make up at least 50% of targeted beneficiaries. Proposals for care and maintenance activities should reflect up to date changes in refugee population numbers due to influx or return. Priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate:(1) a working relationship with UNHCR and 2008/2009 UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities and/or overall country program; (2) appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations; (3) a proven track record in providing proposed assistance to Burundi and DRC refugees and/or returnees and in the specified sector; (4) evidence of coordination with host government and other international and non-governmental organizations; (5) evidence of coordination with development organizations and a well-developed transition strategy; and (6) a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators.
