Opportunity Summary:
The Strengthening Rehabilitation in District Environs (STRIDE) opportunity is a USAID/Nepal-funded health program focused on improving rehabilitation services in Nepal, particularly for people affected by conflict and others with mobility-related injuries. The main goal is to raise the quality of rehabilitation care and ensure stronger community-based follow-up for people who receive services, so beneficiaries do not lose progress once they leave a facility and can better reintegrate into daily life. Alongside this, the program also aims to expand access to rehabilitation more broadly, including targeted support for people living with disabilities who face extreme financial hardship and would otherwise be unable to afford treatment. A further objective is to strengthen coordination across the disability sector, encouraging better alignment between government bodies and other organizations working in rehabilitation and disability support so efforts are not fragmented or duplicated.
USAID highlights several program design priorities that applicants are expected to take seriously. One is balancing scale and equity: the project should benefit a meaningful number of people while also reaching remote and underserved areas, not just populations near major service centers. USAID also calls for a balanced gender approach and emphasizes social inclusion, signaling that applicants should address barriers faced by women and marginalized groups and design services that are accessible and fair. Overall, STRIDE is framed as both a service-quality improvement effort and an access-expansion effort, with a strong emphasis on follow-through at the community level rather than one-time clinical interventions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, STRIDE is offered as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement (meaning substantial USAID involvement is typically expected during implementation compared with a standard grant). The anticipated award total is USD 1,200,000 for a three-year period. Although USAID states it plans to make one award, it reserves the right to make multiple awards if that is considered a better approach. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to contribute resources or secure matching support as part of their application strategy. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating that a wide range of entity types may apply, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement.
Key reference details include Funding Opportunity Number RFA 367 09 000001 under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas).
