<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:sans-serif;">This email is to update you on USAID's Disability Funding Program for 2018. </span></p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
</p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:sans-serif;">Many of you are familiar with the annual notification of USAID Disability Funding that USAID/Washington sends to USAID Missions around this time of year. Now in its twelfth year, the Disability Funding
Program was reviewed in 2016 and a more strategic approach was adopted in 2017 with a focus on inclusive education and maximizing the impact of existing projects. A similar approach has been adopted for 2018. Therefore, resources will be: 1) dedicated to
funding inclusive education efforts initiated in 2017, and 2) competitively provided to USAID Missions to support existing projects in the democracy, human rights, and governance sector.</span><br>
<br>
</p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
</p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;">What does this mean for Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs) and other partners who may be interested in partnering with USAID Missions on disability inclusive programming? </span></p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:sans-serif;">For the purposes of the Disability Funding, it means that you should monitor potential funding opportunities that may result from the local USAID Mission. You can learn more about responding to funding
opportunities here: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww..usaid.gov%2fpartnership-opportunities%2frespond-solicitation&c=E,1,4P6Jq6pJhMIHtPixQ_2qwePNzy0k3IIhU2ULAg6q1k0uwPPByRFbw8qKrjJ1u0m7vovRrbZv7yqsIeovV4yq6fvt_vrdIn_FUFtXDlFLn9jc2jfeKw,,&typo=1">https://www.usaid.gov/partnership-opportunities/respond-solicitation</a></span></p>

<p class="yiv8562772609MsoNormal" style="">
<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:sans-serif;">Please note that USAID/Washington does not maintain a list of participating Missions and does not anticipate that all Missions eligible under this funding opportunity will choose to participate. </span></p>
