Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID/Vietnam call for concept papers focused on disability support in Danang and surrounding areas. USAID is looking for qualified non-governmental organizations to propose and implement model projects that strengthen services for people with disabilities, with an emphasis on practical, on-the-ground interventions that can be demonstrated and potentially replicated. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement grant under USAID foreign assistance, with activities aligned to the environment and health category, and it is being managed through USAID/RDMA in Bangkok, Thailand.
The program scope is broad and designed to allow applicants to propose solutions that address multiple points along the disability services continuum. Proposed activities may include earlier identification and early intervention for people with disabilities, support for existing rehabilitation clinics and related services, and efforts to expand access to essential health and education services. USAID also signals strong interest in community-based approaches, such as initiating or strengthening community-based rehabilitation services and support networks. Economic inclusion is another key theme, with examples including income generation and employment initiatives for people with disabilities. In addition, the call highlights systems-strengthening priorities like building the capacity of local organizations to provide quality services, improving community-level information and awareness aimed at reducing risk exposure, and strengthening surveillance, prevention, and other measures intended to reduce disability incidence or mitigate preventable causes.
Funding is substantial, with an award floor of USD 1,000,000 and an award ceiling of USD 1,500,000. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which can make it more accessible for organizations that do not have large unrestricted funding pools. The opportunity was posted on June 5, 2008, with a question deadline of June 12, 2008, an initial review of concept papers scheduled for June 26, 2008, and a final closing date of December 4, 2008. The award was later archived on January 3, 2009, which indicates it is no longer open, but the details describe what USAID was seeking during the open period.
Eligibility is intentionally wide. Applicants may be U.S. or non-U.S. NGOs, including private non-profit organizations and for-profit entities that agree to forego profits. Examples of eligible organizations include private voluntary organizations, universities, research organizations, professional associations, foundations, international NGOs, host-country organizations, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly encouraged to apply, and the notice references USAID guidance on faith-based participation. Consortium applications are allowed, but at least one partner must meet the eligibility requirements.
Administrative requirements include having a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number to apply for a cooperative agreement with the U.S. government. If a non-U.S. organization does not have a DUNS number, it can apply through a partner that does, serving as the primary recipient, or it can contact USAID/RDMA for the appropriate form. The listing provides a point of contact for access issues and procurement questions: Karittha Jenchiewchan, Procurement Specialist, reachable by phone at 662 263 7455 or by email at kjenchiewchan@usaid.gov.
