Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 041
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Promoting the Human Rights of Persons with Albinism in Tanzania" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 17 041; CFDA: 19.345). The purpose of the competition was to fund a program that strengthens respect for the human rights of persons with albinism in Tanzania, with a particular focus on addressing and reducing structural stigma, discrimination, and violence directed at this population. In practice, this kind of DRL competition generally targets efforts that improve protection, inclusion, and equal treatment by confronting harmful social norms, strengthening accountability, and supporting rights-based approaches that make discrimination and abuse harder to perpetrate and easier to prevent and respond to.
The opportunity was structured as a grant, with an anticipated single award. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $350,000, indicating a medium-sized project scope that could support a focused national or multi-community intervention rather than a large, multi-year nationwide system overhaul. The solicitation was created on December 7, 2016, and the original application deadline was January 20, 2017. DRL directed applicants to consult the Proposal Submission Instructions (PSI) for the required application format and submission details, signaling that compliance with specific DRL proposal standards, documentation, and review criteria would be important for eligibility and competitiveness.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide mix of organization types capable of implementing human rights programming. Eligible applicants included U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, and other entities. This wide eligibility pool suggests DRL was open to proposals from civil society organizations, academic institutions, and implementing partners with specialized expertise, as long as they could credibly design and manage programming aimed at human rights protection and anti-discrimination outcomes for persons with albinism in Tanzania.
At its core, the grant sought program proposals that would move beyond general awareness-raising and instead contribute to measurable improvements in human rights conditions by tackling the underlying drivers of exclusion and harm. The stated emphasis on "structural forms" of stigma and discrimination implies an interest in interventions that influence systems and institutions, such as community protection mechanisms, improved access to justice, policy implementation, documentation of abuses, training and capacity-building for relevant actors, and initiatives that reduce vulnerability to violence and discrimination. The focus on persons with albinism reflects a human rights and protection priority in Tanzania, where persons with albinism have historically faced severe stigma and targeted violence, and where strengthening social inclusion and institutional safeguards can be central to preventing harm and ensuring equal rights.
In summary, this DRL grant opportunity aimed to support one well-defined, rights-focused project in Tanzania, funded up to $350,000, designed to reduce stigma, discrimination, and violence against persons with albinism and to promote greater respect for their human rights. Applicants from a range of nonprofit, academic, and private-sector entities were eligible, and proposals were expected to follow DRL's Proposal Submission Instructions for full consideration.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 041
