What the grant funds
Concept note activities must primarily support refugee returnee populations in Afghanistan. Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, concept note proposals should only contain those programs that include a target population base of at least 50 percent refugees/IDPs/refugee returnees. Additionally, programs should take place in high refugee-return areas. Applicants are encouraged to focus activities in one or more of the Priority Areas of Return and Reintegration (PARRs).
