Disability Rights Fund releases second 2011 grants round, 'Securing Our Rights.'

14 July 2011

The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) - a grantmaking collaborative between donors and the global disability community which supports the human rights of persons with disabilities - has announced its second 2011 grants round, Securing Our Rights. Grantmaking in this round will be targeted to disabled persons' organisations (DPOs) in Bangladesh, 14 Pacific Island countries, Ghana, Uganda, Nicaragua and Peru. Organisations from Bangladesh, Peru and Uganda may apply by invitation only.

The broad objective of the fund, officially launched in March 2008 and , is to empower DPOs in the developing world and Eastern Europe/former Soviet Union to participate in ratification, implementation and monitoring of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CPRD).

Grants will range from US$5,000 to $20,000 and will support efforts to build CRPD skills and to develop rights-based advocacy and monitoring on the CRPD.

Interested organisations are urged to review the full eligibility criteria and application details posted on the fund's website.

Any questions on the proposal process should be directed to the fund via email. The deadline for applications is August 18, 2011.
