Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration

Description

1. Programs will benefit refugees in Shimelba Camp, Ethiopia. While PRM encourages activities that include the local host population, NGOs should concentrate on care/maintenance activities for refugees in a camp environment. At least 50% of beneficiaries must be refugees. Proposals may focus on protection, health, water, sanitation, shelter, education, community services, psychosocial support, gender based violence, and livelihoods development and training. 2. PRM will give priority to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate: • a working relationship with UNHCR in country and UNHCR funding and/or support for the proposed activities ; • a proven track record in providing proposed refugee assistance in Ethiopia and in the sector(s); • evidence of coordination with the host government and other international and non-governmental organizations working in the area of activity. [Note: PRM will share budget and project activity information with appropriate ministries, local officials, and other USG entities]; • a concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, time-bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and at least one impact indicator per objective; • A budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives and demonstrates co-funding by non-US Government sources.
