FY 2015 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs benefiting refugees in Chad and Cameroon

Proposed activities should primarily support Sudanese and/or CAR refugees in Chad and new Nigerian and/or CAR refugees in Cameroon.

Country-specific Provisions: (a) Chad: Proposals must focus on Sudanese refugees in the 14 camps in eastern Chad and/or Central African refugees in the five camps or UNHCR-designated host communities in southern Chad. Proposals must focus on one or more of the following sectors: Healthcare (primary only), including reproductive health; Protection (including gender-based violence prevention and response and/or child protection to include secondary education for Sudanese refugees) and/or community reconciliation (including potential refugee participation in CAR elections); Livelihoods. Proposals should include a well-developed plan for training and building the capacity of local staff and service providers as well as building refugee self-sufficiency. Proposals should include a transition plan for long term sustainability of programming, and proposals related to secondary education should include an exit strategy. (b) Cameroon: Proposals must focus on new Nigerian refugees (security permitting) and/or new Central African refugees. Proposals must focus on one or more of the following sectors: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH); Protection (including gender-based violence prevention) and/or community reconciliation (including potential refugee participation in CAR elections); Livelihoods.
