Opportunity Summary:
The USAID Ethiopia Annual Program Statement (APS) for Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Development Programming is a discretionary USAID funding opportunity intended to expand and strengthen the inclusion of people with disabilities across USAID-supported development efforts in Ethiopia. The APS serves mainly as a public call for prospective partners to propose practical activities that either (1) integrate people with disabilities (PWDs) into ongoing or new development programming, or (2) engage directly with Disabled Peoples Organizations (DPOs) to improve understanding, participation, and inclusion. In plain terms, USAID is looking for partners who can help make development programs more accessible and responsive so that people with disabilities are not left out of planning, services, or benefits.
This opportunity was issued by USAID/Ethiopia (USAID Addis Ababa) under Funding Opportunity Number 663-APS-08-010 and is tied to CFDA 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs. The APS was posted on January 9, 2008 and remained open through December 31, 2008 (with an archive date of January 30, 2009). The total estimated funding across awards is listed as $5,500,000, with individual awards expected to range from a floor of $20,000 to a ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants can still propose leveraged resources if it strengthens the approach.
The APS is broadly open in terms of eligibility. It is described as “unrestricted,” meaning that, unless further limitations are specified in the full announcement, a wide range of entities may apply. This commonly includes local and international non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, private voluntary organizations, academic institutions, and potentially other qualified entities. The central theme across eligible proposals is the focus on disability inclusion in the context of development programming and/or meaningful partnership with DPOs.
Programmatically, the APS targets activities that improve inclusion of people with disabilities in USAID Ethiopia programs. While the summary text does not list specific sectors, the intent implies proposals may relate to improving accessibility, participation, and outcomes for PWDs within typical development domains (for example, education, health, livelihoods, democracy and governance, agriculture, or humanitarian and social services), as long as the core objective is disability inclusion. Competitive applications would be expected to show a clear understanding of barriers faced by PWDs and to propose concrete strategies for inclusive design and implementation, such as adapting service delivery, strengthening referral pathways, improving communication accessibility, building staff and stakeholder capacity, and ensuring DPO engagement so that PWDs help shape the interventions that affect them.
In addition to funding details, the announcement provides a point of contact for applicants who cannot access the full opportunity announcement electronically. The Agreement Officer listed is Michael Rossman, reachable by phone at 202-216-6203, with email communication preferred.
