Cyclone Nargis, Burma: Guidance for Submission of Proposals
May 11, 2008
Summary:
Following field assessments by non-governmental organizations (NGO) and United Nations (UN) agencies, USAID has funded some initial emergency relief activities and will consider support for additional assistance to cyclone-affected populations in Burma. For recent updates and key developments, visit http://www.usaid.gov/locations/asia/countries/burma/cyclone_nargis/
Program Priorities:
USAID/OFDA welcomes concept papers and/or proposals from interested NGOs that prioritize the following sectors: emergency provision of water, sanitation and hygiene (e.g. provision of potable water and rehabilitation of water systems; provision of sanitation, and hygiene education), emergency health interventions (activities to strengthen health surveillance systems; communicable and endemic diseases prevention and treatment for example to contain cholera and dengue fever, and malaria), temporary shelter and other non-food items, and quick impact income generation activities (e.g. cash-for-work community rehabilitation projects). Humanitarian protection should be a cross-cutting theme in each sector. OFDA will prioritize its support to NGOs based on their ability to make an immediate impact to affected communities in Burma.
Instructions:
Proposals should follow OFDA's guidelines for unsolicited proposals found at: OFDA Guidelines Unsolicited Proposals and Reporting (666kb PDF)
Submission of Proposals:
Concept papers and proposals may be submitted electronically to USAID/OFDA at the following e-mail address: proposals@ofda.gov
