Only Disabled Persons’ Organizations (DPOs) from Indonesia, Lebanon, and Mexico can apply for this opportunity
Disability Rights Fund announces the 2012 “Implementing Our Rights” grant cycle which comprises two grant rounds. The main aim of this Disability Rights Fund Grant making is that persons with disabilities participate fully in society and enjoy equal rights as well as opportunities.
The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) seeks to support 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 the Global South, Middle East, and Eastern Europe/former Soviet Union.
The 2012 “Implementing Our Rights” grant cycle consists of two grant making rounds:
- The first grantmaking round, consisting of a Letter of Interest (LoI) process for DPOs in India (States of Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Orissa, Tamil Nadu or the National Capital of Delhi only) and Ukraine and a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for DPOs in Indonesia, Lebanon, and Mexico is described in more detail below. The deadline for the RFP is March 15, 2012.
- The second grant making round, directed at DPOs in Bangladesh, PICs, Ghana, Uganda, Nicaragua and Peru, and consisting of both a LoI and RFP process, will be publicized in mid-2012.
DRF supports projects which demonstrate a clear ability and commitment to contribute to the advancement of the human rights of persons with disabilities. Grants provide one or two year, project-specific support. Cross-disability and other partnerships in-country are strongly encouraged, as are projects which address particularly marginalized sectors of the disability community.
