Notice of Funding Opportunity - Inclusion of Individuals with Disabilities in U.S. Foreign Policy
The National Council on Disability (NCD) seeks proposals for a report on U. S. foreign policy as it relates to the inclusion of individuals with disabilities.
The report findings primarily serve to assist policymakers, including the White House and Congress, with the insight needed to make policy decisions designed to improve the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in U. S. foreign aid programs and operations overseas.
The report will also provide individuals with disabilities and with an understanding of policy, legislation, and initiatives that impact their lives.
This report will follow-up on NCDs previous foreign policy studies by providing a detailed and current assessment of the application of federal disability laws (both statutory and case law) to U. S. foreign aid programs.
It will provide a review of the policies and practices of DOS, USAID, DOD, and the Peace Corps and detail the extent to which the these agencies have (1) developed policies and/or or programs to ensure the inclusion of individuals with disabilities as recipients of U. S. foreign assistance, and (2) removed the specific barriers to access by individuals with disabilities identified in NCDs prior foreign policy reports.
It will examine the effectiveness of the policies and/or programs made/implemented by these agencies as a result of NCDs prior recommendations, and recommend actions for improvement where weaknesses are identified.
It will also examine the policies and practices of the Millennial Challenge Corporation to determine whether it applies U. S. disability laws and policies to its programs overseas and make recommendations for improvement.
The estimated contract period is 12 months.
NCD expects interested parties to submit their responses by June 10, 201 6. The full Notice of Funding Opportunity is available on ncd.gov and may be requested by mail or picked up at NCD on or after the issue date of May 10, 201 6.
