Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006447
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is offering a discretionary grant under an open competition titled "DRL FY19 Protecting and Promoting the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in South America and Panama" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006447). The opportunity was posted on February 12, 2020, and originally closed on April 10, 2020. DRL anticipates making a single award, with funding up to an award ceiling of $500,000, under a grant funding instrument. The program falls under CFDA 19.345 and is categorized under "Other" in the funding activity classification.
The core purpose of this grant is to strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of disability advocates and organizations operating in South America and Panama so they can push governments to meet their obligations to protect the rights of all people, specifically in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and its Optional Protocol. In practical terms, the funded project is expected to help local and regional disability rights actors promote real-world compliance with the CRPD framework, which can include supporting efforts tied to the implementation of existing disability rights commitments, improving enforcement of protections already on the books, or helping advance the revision and modernization of local or national laws so they align with CRPD standards.
The opportunity is framed around improving government accountability and follow-through. Rather than focusing only on awareness-raising, the emphasis is on enabling advocates and organizations to more effectively ensure that governments actually carry out their CRPD responsibilities. This can involve activities that make disability rights commitments measurable and enforceable, strengthen monitoring and reporting, support policy and legal reform initiatives, and build the ability of civil society groups to engage government institutions and processes using CRPD and Optional Protocol principles as the benchmark.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. Overall, the grant is designed for applicants capable of working with and supporting disability rights stakeholders in the target geography and of delivering a program that translates international disability rights obligations into concrete improvements in law, policy, and government practice across South America and Panama.Apply for SFOP0006447
