Opportunity Summary:
The Vietnam Disabilities Annual Program Statement (APS 440 14 000001) is a USAID/Vietnam grant opportunity designed to advance disability inclusion in Vietnam by expanding opportunities for persons with disabilities. The overall aim is to support a more inclusive society by improving the health and well-being of Vietnamese persons with disabilities, primarily through stronger and more sustainable services, along with increased awareness and advocacy. In practical terms, the program is meant to help organizations deliver higher-quality disability-related supports and to strengthen the systems and public understanding that make those supports last beyond the life of a grant.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaborative planning, technical input, or coordinated monitoring), rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. USAID anticipates making multiple awards under this APS, which creates room for different projects or approaches that still align with the central goal of improving disability inclusion and well-being.
Funding amounts are relatively flexible, with an award floor of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $21,000,000. Applicants should also plan for cost sharing or matching, since the announcement indicates that a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies. The specific share and how it must be documented would normally be detailed in the full announcement, but the key takeaway is that applicants are expected to contribute resources alongside USAID funding, whether in cash or allowable in-kind contributions, depending on the rules of the APS.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types, including both local and international organizations, as long as they meet any additional criteria or clarifications included in the full APS text. The program falls under the Community Development funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the broad federal assistance listing used for many overseas USAID programs.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on June 3, 2014, with a closing date of June 2, 2015 (Vietnam local time). The archive date is September 30, 2015, indicating the solicitation is no longer active today, but the details remain useful as a reference for the type of disability-focused programming USAID/Vietnam sought to support during that period.
The issuing office is listed under USAID Bangkok (Thailand) while the program focus is USAID/Vietnam, reflecting regional administrative support for the Vietnam portfolio. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Praveena ViraSingh, Procurement Specialist, reachable by phone at 6622573000.
