Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Education of children living with disabilities in Benin," is a USAID-funded program administered through the USAID mission in Cotonou, Benin. The stated purpose is twofold: first, to improve educational access and outcomes for children living with disabilities in Benin, and second, to strengthen the capacity of Disabled Peoples Organizations (DPOs) so they can more effectively advocate for, support, and deliver services to people with disabilities, including children and their families. The activity falls under the Education category and is structured as a mandatory grant competition, meaning applicants are expected to follow specific requirements laid out in the full announcement.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number APS 680 11 000001 and was posted on May 25, 2011, with a creation date of June 14, 2011. The application deadline was June 30, 2011 (both the original and current closing dates are the same), indicating a relatively short submission window. USAID anticipated making a single award under this solicitation, so applicants would have been competing for one funded grant rather than multiple parallel awards.
In terms of funding size, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $300,000, while the minimum award amount (award floor) is listed as $1. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers barriers for organizations that may have strong program capability but limited ability to provide additional financial contributions.
Eligibility was open to a broad range of applicants, with the announcement specifying that both public and private organizations could apply, including local entities, non-U.S. organizations, and U.S. non-profit organizations. The eligibility category is described as "Others" with an instruction to consult the additional eligibility information in the full text for clarification, but the summary provided indicates a strong emphasis on non-profit implementers, including those operating locally in Benin.
The program is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which corresponds to USAID foreign assistance programs overseas. The official source and full details were made available through Grants.gov, with an additional information link provided to access the complete announcement. For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, the contact listed was COSMAS APEDO, an Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 229 21300500.
