The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) at the United States Department of State has announced the 2011 Funding opportunity Announcement for NGO Programs benefiting Refugees in Kenya and Yemen.
Programs will benefit refugees in Kenya and Yemen. While PRM encourages activities that include the local host population, NGOs should concentrate on care/maintenance activities for refugees. At least 50% of beneficiaries must be refugees. Proposals for Kenya may focus on protection, health (including support for disabled persons), water, sanitation, shelter, community services, psychosocial support, prevention of and response to gender-based violence, education, and livelihoods development (including vocational education) in a camp environment. [Please note there will be no separate call for GBV programs for FY 2011.] For Yemen, only programs that support urban refugees in Sana’a focused on education, livelihoods support, and community services will be considered.
Applications to be submitted via grants.gov before 23 November 2010. For more, visit this link.
