Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration

Description

Proposed activities should primarily support Nigerian refugees in the Diffa and/or Zinder regions of Niger living in current or planned refugee camps or outside of camps among the host community. Priority will be given to programs that can also demonstrate benefit to affected host communities and Nigerien returnees displaced by the conflict in Nigeria. Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM will consider funding only those projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees. Proposals must focus on one or more of sectors listed below (see PRM's General NGO Guidelines for sector descriptions). Please note that projects that do not meet one of the protection/assistance gaps below will not be considered. (i) Protection (including prevention/response to gender-based violence, child protection, assistance for unaccompanied and separated minors, and/or prevention of recruitment by armed groups and ensuring civilian character of refugee sites) (ii) Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) for refugees living outside formal refugee camps only (iii) Health (including malnutrition, reproductive health, maternal and child health, and/or mental health and psychosocial support) for refugees living outside formal refugee camps only (iv) Emergency shelter assistance for refugees living outside formal refugee camps only (v) Livelihoods Proposed program start dates: June 1-August 1, 2015 Duration of Activity: Program plans should not exceed 12 months.
