25. 9.6 Returnees expected in 2011 Related to BSF-IA Primary Education GR location

26. 9.7 Planning BSF 2012 Primary Education Preliminary Shortlist

27. 9.8 Further Planning Notes BSF-2012 • Management and Implementation record of current NGOs. • Based on an NGO's past performance, what has to be taken into consideration is that whether or not they have been able to spend their BSF-IA allocation in the time. • If the sub-committee has concerns about their financial management they should be given a lower ceiling. • The sub-committee needs to be sure that the NGO can spend their proposed budget and the ceiling offered should therefore realistically reflect this. • Or, the sub-committee can look at the current budget and give them a proportion of that in terms of time.

28. 9.8 Further Planning Notes BSF-2012 • It was decided that NGOs should remain in current stats – but can they service different counties – the SMoE should be involved in this decision process. NGOs if invited are required to consult SMoE and attach a letter of endorsement of their proposed activities to their proposed budgets. • However, the Sub-Committee reserve the right to make suggestions on which counties should be served – based upon returnee data. • World Relief is a more difficult example because they have operations in multiple states some of which host large numbers of returnees but some of which do not. The Sub-Committee selection panel will need to make a decision on which states WR is invited to work in under BSF 2012

29. 9.10 Planning Notes BSF-2012 Timeline • Once approved by the Steering Committee, letters can be sent to the invitees as soon as DFID approves the BSF-2012 extension: Included in these letters: • Budget ceilings • Targets, • Outstanding management issues • Possible suggestions on geographical coverage. • Submitted budgets and activities from NGOs should be scrutinized by BSF and the Selection Panel in November • Budget negotiations with NGOs in late Nov/early Dec to give NGOs at least a month to plan before 2012
