Opportunity Summary:
The USAID Monitoring and Evaluation Partnership Program (Funding Opportunity Number USAID JORDAN 10 02 RFA) was a discretionary USAID funding opportunity administered by USAID/Jordan in Amman and focused on the education sector. The award was planned as a single cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to work closely with USAID and relevant Jordanian counterparts during implementation rather than operating fully independently. USAID anticipated making one award with a total estimated funding amount of $4,000,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were set at $4,000,000, indicating a fixed expected award size rather than a broad funding range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement.
The core purpose of the program was to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity of Jordan's National Center for Human Resources Development (NCHRD). The opportunity emphasized staff capacity building and skills development, which typically includes improving technical competencies in areas such as study design, data collection and management, analysis, performance measurement, evaluation methodology, and the practical use of evidence to assess program effectiveness. A key feature of the described scope was hands-on engagement: the implementer was expected to work directly with NCHRD staff rather than only delivering standalone trainings, suggesting an approach centered on mentoring, on-the-job coaching, and embedded technical assistance to build durable internal capability.
Beyond individual capacity building, the program also aimed to help NCHRD establish systems and processes that ensure findings and recommendations from NCHRD studies are clearly communicated to the Ministry of Education. In practice, this implies creating or improving structured workflows for reporting, dissemination, and feedback so that research and evaluation results can reliably reach decision makers at the right time and in a usable format. The intent was not simply to produce studies, but to strengthen the link between evidence and action, enabling the Ministry of Education to use NCHRD outputs to inform decisions, support policy development, and translate recommendations into concrete steps that can be implemented.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on March 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2010, and an archive date of May 18, 2010. It was associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). Questions or access issues related to the full announcement were directed to Arwa Ghanma, Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Jordan (phone: 96265906686; email: aghanma@usaid.gov).
