Description

This is a Request for Information (RFI)

The USAID Mission in the DRC is in the process of designing a new basic education activity to increase access to safe, inclusive, gender-responsive learning opportunities for children and youth ranging in age from 6 to 17 years old. The planned $12-14 million Education for Social Prosperity activity will build upon USAID/DRC's investments in the Kasai region to increase access to quality and relevant learning opportunities with tailored approaches for girls and support communities to become more resilient. By issuing this Request for Information (RFI), USAID/DRC aims to consult with the broad community of private sector actors, public institutions, development partners, non-governmental organizations, industry associations, civil society, think tanks, and academia concerned with education in the Kasai region. Your comments will inform our activity design to ensure efficient and effective use of contextualized best practices, coordination with existing and planned USAID and other development partner programs, as well as alignment with the Government of DRC's (GDRC) priorities. Not responding to this request does not preclude participation in any future solicitation.

Further details about this activity shall be provided through USAID Business Forecast based on completion of design and internal clearances.
