ANTI-CORRUPTION IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAM | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The ANTI-CORRUPTION IN-SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAM (Funding Opportunity Number: APP007BIHED) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by DOS-BIH (the U.S. Department of State presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina). The program focuses on strengthening integrity and anti-corruption values through formal education by creating and rolling out a structured, standards-based curriculum for both elementary and secondary schools. The core idea is to move beyond one-off awareness activities and instead embed anti-corruption learning into regular school instruction in a way that is consistent, teachable, and scalable across the country.

Applicants are invited to propose a project that develops and implements an anti-corruption curriculum in at least 50 schools and pairs that curriculum with a practical teacher training model. The curriculum and training are expected to be aligned with the Common Core Curriculum (CCC). A key foundation for this work already exists: in December 2015, the Agency developed and published country-wide education standards, described locally as learning outcomes, specifically for anti-corruption education. These learning outcomes are framed as a mix of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, signaling that the curriculum should not only teach concepts (like what corruption is and why it matters) but also build student capabilities (like ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and civic responsibility) and foster values (like fairness, accountability, and respect for rules and public resources).

A central implementation requirement is the formation of a work group to develop the new curriculum using best practices and lessons drawn from comparable anti-corruption education efforts previously funded by international and local donors. In other words, the program expects a thoughtful design process that adapts proven approaches to the local school environment rather than reinventing materials from scratch. Beyond producing curriculum content, the project must also deliver clear implementation plans. These plans should include practical guidelines showing how the curriculum aligns with CCC standards and how schools and teachers can integrate the material into classroom instruction in a consistent way.

Teacher preparation is treated as a major deliverable, not an add-on. Proposals should therefore include teacher training sessions focused on how to implement the new curriculum effectively. The training model should be designed so it can be expanded and replicated, supporting nationwide use of the curriculum after the initial rollout. Overall, the expected end state is a package that includes (1) a CCC-aligned anti-corruption curriculum for elementary and secondary levels, (2) implementation guidance tied to national standards and CCC requirements, and (3) a teacher training approach that enables broader adoption throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $100,000. The original and current closing date is July 1, 2016, and the opportunity was created and posted on May 25, 2016.
