FCRA PROJECT
FCRA PROJECT: DISABILITY RIGHTS FUND 2014
Deadline: 31.08.2014
The Disability
Rights Fund (DRF) seeks to strengthen the participation of Disabled Persons’
Organizations (DPOs) in the advancement of the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
at country level in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle
East, the Pacific Islands, and Eastern Europe.
The 2014 “Our
Voices. Our Rights. Our Future” grant cycle consists of two grantmaking rounds:
1. Round One:
The first grantmaking round consisted of a Request for Proposals (RFP) process
for DPOs in Haiti, Indonesia, Lebanon, and two new countries, Malawi and
Myanmar. Selected applicants from India and Ukraine were invited to apply. This
round is now closed.
2. Round Two:
As part of the second grantmaking round, we have now opened a Letter of
Interest (LoI) process for Bangladesh and Uganda, described below. The
deadline for LoIs from Bangladesh and Uganda is June 12, 2014. A
Request for Proposals (RFP) process for remaining Round 2 countries (Pacific
Island Countries and Rwanda) will be publicized July 10, 2014.
Starting in 2015,
Ghana will be part of DRF’s first grantmaking round. As a result, DRF will be
working with current Ghanaian grantees to extend their 2013 projects as part of
this transition.
