- The Millennium Challenge Corporation in the education sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Vocational Education/Youth Employment Project" and is now available to receive applicants.
- This funding opportunity was created on May 26, 2011 and posted on May 26, 2011.
- Applicants must submit their applications by Jun 2, 2011. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $249,800.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 1 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- This is a Notice of Intent of a single source grant agreement award to The World Bank, Indonesia. The grantee for this project was chosen because of unique ability. The World Bank contains well known experts in project development and investment analyses. This will include at least two separate grants to the World Bank Indonesia for technical and analytical services. The two projects are 1) a project to support demand and supply interventions that would lead to reduced stunting, among other indicators, for the poor based on the community development experience gained under the World Bank supported community development program (PNPM/Generasi), and 2) a project targeted at the vocational education and youth employment sectors, following the earlier World Bank design for the Life Skills Education for Employment and Entrepreneurship Project (LSE 3). The activities to be undertaken build on World Bank Government of Indonesia joint efforts. The World Bank implements the PNPM Support Fund for the Government of Indonesia and piloted the Generasi program which serves as the basis for the nutrition/community development activity. The World Bank also appraised the youth employment project in June 2010 and has a rich array of data and experience useful in working with the Government to further build the rationale and analytical basis for the proposed youth employment activity. The grantee has a demonstrated track record for completion of projects on time and on budget with excellent quality. The Grantee is uniquely qualified to carry out the terms of this grant in a cost effective manner.

Opportunity Summary:
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Vocational Education/Youth Employment Project" (Funding Opportunity Number MCC 9022 RFA 63) within the education sector. The purpose of the grant is not to fund direct service delivery right away, but to help the Government of Indonesia with further project design work so a larger, future program can be properly structured, justified, and documented. In practical terms, the grant is meant to translate an existing concept, the Life Skills Education for Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Self-Employment initiative (often referred to as LSE 3), into the formal formats and documentation MCC requires for a proposed compact activity under the theme "Access to Basic Services for Economic Growth." The project is designed to build on activities already operating in Indonesia that have shown effectiveness, rather than starting from scratch.
This opportunity was issued as a notice of intent for a single-source award to the World Bank in Indonesia, meaning it was not structured as an open competition. MCC states the World Bank was selected due to its unique qualifications, including recognized expertise in project development and investment analysis, prior joint work with the Government of Indonesia, and access to relevant data and operational experience. MCC also notes the World Bank had already appraised a youth employment project in June 2010 and could use that background to strengthen the rationale, evidence base, and analytical foundations for the proposed vocational education and youth employment activity. The grant is framed as part of broader World Bank and Government of Indonesia collaboration, leveraging existing knowledge and established implementation experience.
Although the funding opportunity title focuses on vocational education and youth employment, the eligibility narrative explains that MCC anticipated at least two separate grants to the World Bank Indonesia for technical and analytical services. One referenced effort relates to demand and supply interventions aimed at improving outcomes such as reduced stunting among poor communities, building on lessons from the World Bank-supported community development program PNPM/Generasi. The other effort, which aligns directly with this opportunity title, targets vocational education and youth employment and follows earlier World Bank design work for the LSE 3 initiative. Across these efforts, the emphasis is on analytical preparation, project design refinement, and documenting an investment-ready proposal, rather than financing program rollout.
Key administrative details include an expected single award with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling is listed as $249,800, with an award floor of $0. The opportunity was posted on May 26, 2011, with a closing date of June 2, 2011, and an archive date of June 3, 2011. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is education. For access issues or questions about the announcement, MCC provided a point of contact: Patrice Lopez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-521-2635 or by email at lopezpa@mcc.gov.
