Note:
- Projects that duplicate the work or services provided by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees or other multilateral refugee programs will not be funded.
- Project proposals must be submitted by a registered local community group and not by local officials or individuals. Groups must have diverse membership (no single families) and must be already established and operating.
