Opportunity Summary:
The HAITI REHABILITATION AND REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES PROGRAM is a USAID Haiti grant opportunity that was designed in the aftermath of the earthquake to help people who acquired disabilities as a result of the disaster. The central aim is twofold: first, to expand practical rehabilitation and reintegration support so that affected individuals can regain function, independence, and social participation; and second, to strengthen Haitian governmental and non-governmental systems so that disability services can be delivered sustainably and effectively well beyond the immediate earthquake response period. The opportunity is structured as a competitive Request for Applications (RFA), meaning organizations must apply specifically in response to the RFA and unsolicited proposals are not accepted.
USAID planned to support work across four main components. Component 1 focuses on establishing new service centers or strengthening existing centers so people with disabilities can access a full range of services in a more coordinated and reliable way. In practical terms, this component points toward improving service availability and quality at the point of care, including rehabilitation, assistive technologies, referrals, and related support that helps individuals function in daily life and participate in their communities. Component 2 targets the workforce needed to deliver those services by training health staff, including rehabilitation technicians and specialized practitioners such as prosthetics and orthotics personnel as well as physical and occupational therapists. This reflects a capacity-building approach: improving outcomes for patients depends heavily on having enough trained professionals and technicians to provide appropriate rehabilitation and device services.
Component 3 shifts toward national systems strengthening by providing technical assistance to Haiti s Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Affairs. The intent here is to improve the ability of these ministries to plan, coordinate, and oversee disability-related services, policies, and programs, so that support for persons with disabilities is institutionalized rather than dependent solely on short-term humanitarian projects. Component 4 extends technical assistance to organizations of persons with disabilities and other local institutions working in the disability sector. This component emphasizes the role of local civil society and community-based actors in advocacy, service delivery, outreach, and long-term inclusion, with the broader goal of reinforcing local ownership and durable institutional capacity.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was listed as discretionary funding using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership with USAID during implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The estimated total funding and the award ceiling were both set at USD 9,000,000, with no stated award floor, and the opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted March 14, 2011, created April 5, 2011, and closed April 29, 2011, with an archive date of May 29, 2011.
Eligibility was broad and included Haitian, U.S., and international organizations applying either independently or in partnership. Eligible applicants included small businesses, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), along with other eligible entities as clarified in the full announcement. The issuing agency was USAID Haiti in Port-au-Prince. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Eleanore Armand Xavier, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 509 2 229 8404.
