| Description:: | PRM will prioritize funding for proposed NGO activities that best meet the Bureau’s priorities for Malian refugees in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Niger. Proposed activities should primarily support Malian refugees residing in refugee camps in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Niger, and/or Malian refugees residing with host communities in Burkina Faso and Niger. Proposals that include host community support must ensure that at least fifty percent of the project beneficiaries are Malian refugees. Proposals may focus on support for protection efforts (prevention/response to gender-based violence or assistance for unaccompanied minors, prevention of military recruitment, and/or other child protection) or on gaps in any of the assistance sectors (e.g., WASH, health, nutrition/food security, shelter, education, livelihoods). NGOs applying for funding must demonstrate a working relationship with UNHCR and/or current UNHCR funding. A letter of support from UNHCR for the proposed activities is strongly recommended. This letter should highlight the gap in services the proposed program is designed to address. Priority will be given to NGOs that can demonstrate they have coordinated the proposed activities with UNHCR. |
