Funding Priorities

• Proposed activities should primarily support refugees in Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda (western camps), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Sud-Ubangui, Nord-Ubangui Provinces). All proposals should target beneficiaries as identified in collaboration with UNHCR and local authorities.
