Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID/Morocco Request for Information (RFI) tied to a planned education activity called "Reading for Success" under the broader Non Formal Education (NFE) Program. The U.S. Government, through USAID in Rabat, is not yet soliciting full proposals at this stage; instead, it is asking organizations to provide comments on a brief Program Description (PD) summary that outlines the draft objectives and key design elements of the activity. USAID indicates it expects to release a formal Request for Applications (RFA) within the following few weeks, meaning the RFI is meant to help refine the program design before the competition formally opens.
The planned mechanism for the eventual award is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on work planning, technical approaches, monitoring, and coordination with government or other partners). The funding activity category is Education, and USAID anticipates making one award. There is no cost share or matching requirement listed, which suggests applicants would not be required to contribute a minimum level of non-federal resources as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary leveraged resources may still be viewed positively depending on the final RFA.
In terms of who can participate, eligibility is broadly open to national and international organizations (the notice lists eligible applicants as "Others" and clarifies in the eligibility text field that both national and international organizations are included). This framing signals that USAID is interested in hearing from a wide range of implementers and stakeholders who have relevant experience in literacy, reading interventions, accelerated learning, out-of-school youth programming, community-based education, or related non-formal education approaches. Because it is an RFI, responses are generally used for market research and program shaping rather than for selecting an implementer at this time.
Key administrative details show this notice was posted and created on March 16, 2015, with an RFI response deadline of March 20, 2015, and an archive date of April 19, 2015. The funding opportunity number is 608 15 003 RFI, and the CFDA number referenced is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement is directed to contact Salya Yacoubi at USAID Rabat by phone at 212 53763 7200.
