In FY 2011, PRM's focus is to support the reintegration of spontaneous returnees to Kosovo; to support the integration of displaced persons from Kosovo in Serbia and/or Montenegro; and to support the provision of alternative shelter options for extremely vulnerable tenants of collective centers in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Serbia. - Proposed activities should primarily support refugees or displaced persons (DPs) in Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina or returned refugees and DPs in Kosovo. - Proposals should focus on the following sectors: Protection, Shelter and Infrastructure, and/or Livelihoods. We anticipate funding at least one NGO activity in each of the three categories listed below. 1)Reintegration of spontaneous returnees to Kosovo. Proposals should include at least one of the following components: a)Livelihoods/subsistence income generation b)Training courses and/or other mentoring activities to enhance technical and management, and/or entrepreneurial skills. c)Shelter repairs or building refurbishment for spontaneous returnees to Kosovo. Proposals may include some category IV and V reconstructions. [According to the Housing Reconstruction Guidelines, Kosovo 2002, UNHCR Category IV is defined as 40-60% damage: serious damage caused by war act or fire, 30-100% roof damage. Category V is defined as 60-100% damage: destroyed house, which needs reconstruction.] d)Legal services to assist DPs in resolution of property issues or reaffirmation of property rights in Kosovo; and/or to assist refugees to resolve legal cases related to damage, or pension claims. 2)Integration of displaced persons from Kosovo in Serbia and/or Montenegro. Proposals should include at least one of the following components: a)Legal services to assist DPs in resolution of property issues or reaffirmation of property rights in Kosovo; and/or to assist refugees to resolve legal cases related to damage, or pension claims. b)Livelihoods/subsistence income generation c)Training courses and/or other mentoring activities to enhance technical and management, and/or entrepreneurial skills. In principle, training should be related to vocational activities that are otherwise supported by the income generation component of this program; 3)Provision of alternative shelter options for extremely vulnerable tenants of collective centers in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Serbia. a)Projects may include a variety of housing solutions as appropriate, to include options for social housing, village housing, prefabricated housing, refurbishment of housing or provision of building materials for completion of commenced housing construction. b)Projects should seek to benefit as many individuals in need of durable solutions as possible, and should consider the per capita and per unit cost of the proposed housing solution. c)Proposals should attempt to leverage PRM funding with other sources of funding. Note: Proposals regarding alternative shelter options for extremely vulnerable tenants of collective centers (item 3, above) must be well coordinated with UNHCR offices in the appropriate country and should contain language to reflect the NGO's agreement to implement the project in consultation and coordination with UNHCR. Proposals should address how project activities and objectives will support broader efforts to resolve protracted refugee and/or IDP issues in the region.
