Opportunity Summary:
USAID Mission in Paraguay released a discretionary grant opportunity called "Inclusion of People with Disabilities" (Funding Opportunity Number APS 526-13-000001) to identify local Paraguayan organizations that can help make USAID-funded programs more inclusive of people with disabilities. The Mission is requesting concept papers from both for-profit and non-profit Paraguayan entities, with the intent of finding partners that could later be recommended (endorsed) for USAID funding. In practical terms, this is an early-stage solicitation focused on screening ideas and local implementers before moving forward with full awards.
The core purpose of the opportunity is twofold. First, USAID wants activities that increase the participation of people with disabilities across USAID programs and activities in Paraguay, meaning the funding is aimed at improving real access and involvement rather than treating disability as a side issue. Second, USAID is specifically looking to strengthen the capacity and services of local Disabled People s Organizations (DPOs). That typically implies support for organizational development, service delivery improvements, better advocacy and representation, stronger management systems, and other steps that help DPOs operate more effectively and sustainably while serving and representing people with disabilities.
This opportunity is structured as a grant, with an anticipated single award. The total estimated funding is listed at 600,000 USD, with award amounts expected to fall between 300,000 USD (floor) and 600,000 USD (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified by USAID as focused on the inclusion of people with disabilities.
Eligibility is limited to local Paraguayan organizations, and the announcement indicates that both local for-profit and non-profit entities may submit concept papers. The timeline in the notice shows the opportunity was posted on December 28, 2012, with a closing date of January 24, 2013, and an archive date of February 23, 2013. The assistance listing references CFDA 98.001, which corresponds to USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs.
For access to further details, USAID pointed applicants to the Mission business page (http://paraguay.usaid.gov/business). The listed contact for issues accessing the full announcement is Marco Ferreira, Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Paraguay, reachable by phone at 595 212 1371.
