Opportunity Summary:
The Developing Rehabilitation Assistance to Schools and Teacher Improvement (D RASATI) opportunity is a USAID-funded education program focused on strengthening Lebanon s public school system in order to improve student achievement. The solicitation was issued by the Regional Procurement Office of USAID Egypt on behalf of USAID Lebanon, and it supports USAID Lebanon s Assistance Objective under the broader theme of Investing in People, specifically targeting measurable gains in learning outcomes by improving what happens in classrooms and by strengthening the overall school environment.
At the center of D RASATI is the idea that student performance improves when teachers are better supported and schools are better equipped to deliver quality education. The program is designed to raise the quality of teacher performance primarily through in service training, meaning professional development that teachers receive while actively employed rather than pre service training before entering the profession. This implies a large scale, practical approach to instructional improvement that can reach existing teachers and can be adapted to real classroom conditions, with an emphasis on changing day to day teaching practice rather than only delivering theoretical workshops.
In addition to teacher development, D RASATI aims to upgrade educational environments across all 1,400 Lebanese public schools. These upgrades are to be guided by standards developed and agreed upon in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE), signaling that the activity is intended to align with national priorities and to be implemented in coordination with the Lebanese government. While the notice does not list the exact types of upgrades, the framing suggests improvements tied to learning conditions and school readiness, such as rehabilitation, basic infrastructure or facility improvements, and other enhancements that help schools meet agreed quality standards and better support teaching and learning.
A third major pillar of the program is increased stakeholder engagement in school activities. This typically points to stronger involvement from parents, local communities, school committees, and other education partners in supporting schools, promoting accountability, and encouraging sustained participation in school improvement efforts. The inclusion of stakeholder engagement alongside training and school environment upgrades indicates an approach that combines technical improvements with broader community buy in, which can help reforms last beyond the life of a donor funded project.
From a funding and award structure perspective, the opportunity is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, including collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and key decisions. The estimated total funding is up to USD 75,000,000, with an award ceiling of USD 75,000,000 and an award floor of USD 0, and USAID anticipated making one award. The opportunity falls under the CFDA number 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, and it includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute resources toward the project in addition to USAID funds.
Eligibility is structured primarily around U.S. nationality for non governmental applicants. Applicants must be non governmental entities of U.S. nationality, with no further restrictions noted beyond that condition. The announcement explicitly lists that eligible U.S. entities may include non profit organizations, for profit companies, faith based and community organizations, and educational institutions, among others referenced in the additional eligibility information section.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number 268 10 021, with the opportunity posted on April 19, 2010 and a closing date of June 6, 2010, later archived on June 15, 2010.
