Landmine Survivor Peer Support Networks in Five Mine-Affected
Countries; Notice of Availability of Funds
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2000 funds for a cooperative agreement
program for ``Landmine Survivor Peer Support Networks in Five Mine-
Affected Countries'.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to Landmine Survivors Network
(LSN). No other applications are solicited.
LSN is the most appropriate and qualified organization for
conducting activities under this program because:
1. LSN has existing staff, both domestically and internationally,
trained in public health and social sciences related to landmine
survivors.
2. LSN has a significant global presence, allowing it to coordinate
with local governments and international organizations in the
implementation of projects related to landmine survivors.
3. LSN has a singularly high level of expertise and experience in
working with landmine survivor issues.
4. LSN has an existing field presence including peer support
networks in four of the five countries identified in this announcement
(Bosnia, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Jordan).
5. LSN has established itself as a leader in the Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO) community as a provider of support to individuals,
families, and communities injured by landmines, giving it the resources
and contacts to implement the program with the support of professional
networks in the NGO community.
Note: Public Law 104-65 states that an organization described in
section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engages
in lobbying activities is not eligible to receive Federal funds
constituting an award, grant, cooperative agreement, contract, loan,
or any other form.
C. Availability of Funds
Approximately $1,200,000 is available in FY 2000 to fund this
award. It is expected that the award will begin on or about September
30, 2000 and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project
period of up to 3 years.
