##   School Improvement Program

06/11/2012

//

Marginalized Palestinian areas suffer from a multitude of political, security and socio-economic problems that hinder development work and put the population at serious risk. The Palestinian Authority (PA) has limited authority and capability to reach all Palestinian areas to provide meaningful support to its residents. The School Improvement Program will implement interventions to improve the educational environment and quality of education in the most disadvantaged Palestinian areas. This program will provide support to public and private schools in the most disadvantaged Palestinian areas. The primary goal of the program is to improve access to quality education and mitigate challenges to youth development in marginalized areas. The sub-goals include: 1) Improved educational facilities through renovation.2) Improved teaching and learning through teacher training as appropriate, provision of educational resources, and collaboration with local communities.3) Expanded opportunities for youth development through extracurricular activities, career counseling and training in schools after hours.Illustrative outcomes include: Improved human and physical educational resources that contribute to narrowing the achievement gap between students in underserved and better served Palestinian areas. Organized and sustained extracurricular activities and youth programs. Established networks between teachers, administrators, counselors, officials and community representatives in the targeted schools aiming at improving the quality of education and youth programming. Enhanced community involvement in school decision-making. Strengthened educational institutions that provide services to learners.

This Annual Program Statement (APS) publicizes the intention of the United States Government (USG), as represented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Global Health (GH), to fund one or multiple awards to address the overarching APS program purpose. The purpose is to accelerate reductions in maternal, newborn, and child mortality and morbidity in high-burden, USAID-supported countries by increasing the capacity of host country institutions and local organizations to introduce, deliver, scale up, and sustain the use of evidence-based, quality maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) services, voluntary family planning, (FP) and reproductive health (RH) care.This main APS document outlines the goal, purpose, expected results, and priorities of MOMENTUM (Moving Integrated, Quality Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Services, Voluntary Family Planning, and Reproductive Health Care [MNCH/FP/RH] to Scale), and may result in multiple awards issued under subsequent APS Rounds. Note: When referencing MOMENTUM in this document, it is referring to the full portfolio of possible awards under this overall purpose. This specific document is an umbrella APS and will not be accepting concept papers or applications. Prospective applicants will be provided a fair opportunity to develop and submit competitive concept papers to USAID for potential funding via discrete Rounds under this APS. For the purposes of the MOMENTUM APS, a “Round” is defined as a specific program description that falls under the larger MOMENTUM APS goal, purpose, and results but is tailored to a certain focus. Under each Round, applicants will first submit a short concept paper that will be reviewed for responsiveness to the overall MOMENTUM purpose, selected results, and Round’s focus and then scored according to the evaluation criteria provided in the Round document. If an applicant is successful in the concept paper stage, applicant representatives may be invited to join a co-creation process. Following the co-creation process, selected applicants (individual organizations and/or consortia developed at concept paper stage or during co-creation) will be requested to submit a Full Application, the content and format of which will be provided in greater detail by the Agreement Officer. Publishing this APS does not commit USAID to make any awards. USAID also reserves the right to not conduct a co-creation process and request Full Applications from successful applicants at concept paper stage. As Rounds occur, notifications will be posted on Grants.gov. Please refer to the specific Round documents for detailed information on the concept paper submission guidance including Round points of contact, concept paper requirements, and evaluation criteria for the specific Round. These Round documents should be located under the "Related Documents" tab in this posting.For a USAID Mission or USAID/Washington Office wishing to issue a Round under this APS, the program description must fit within Section I of this document. Please contact Samantha Pierre (spierre@usaid.gov) and Rebecca Levine (rlevine@usaid.gov) for review of the Round document - it must be reviewed before being posted publicly under this APS. All new Rounds must be posted as a MOMENTUM APS Round on the USAID Business Forecast.

##   Continuity of Pre-Primary Education Post Covid Using Learning Through Play, Community Engagement and Edutainment in South Africa – South Africa Addendum APS

08/12/2022

09/26/2022

This program is authorized in accordance with Part 1 of the Foreign Assistance act of 1961, as amended.Through this Addendum to the Science, Technology, Innovation and Partnership (STIP) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA21APS00003 (the STIP APS Full Announcement), USAID is making a special call for the submission of Concept Notes focused on Continuity of Pre-Primary Education post COVID-19 using Community Engagement and Edutainment in South Africa.This activity aims to support the expansion and dissemination of relevant educational video content and other educational content and materials to pre-primary learners in South Africa. While there is much focus on the use of new and innovative technologies for strengthening educational systems and reaching learners, a historic constant has been the well-documented and compelling cases of the use of video or television segments to support developing country educational objectives. Whether as complements to broader education projects or as standalone interventions, educational videos that are well-constructed, evidence-based, and of appropriate pedagogy can uniquely capture the imagination of learners, drive social and behavior change, and provide important tools for professional development of teachers. While the use of these tools for in-classroom instruction is also effective, the expansion of educational television, and other forms of mass media instruction (collectively referred to as “edutainment” platforms), are particularly compelling in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has had enormous detrimental impacts on educational attainment worldwide. Moving forward, development of new edutainment approaches and expansion of existing ones must be part of a comprehensive disaster preparedness strategy.The use of co-creation will determine the objective(s), however, possible ideas could be to:1) Develop and test low-cost video dissemination and projection devices to deliver high-quality educational video content, particularly in lower-resource settings;2) Support families within the context of their own homes with materials and in-person activities to promote children’s learning and use of self-regulation techniques;3) Develop mobile play material (toy) libraries and screen COVID-related edutainment for children and their families who are in the most need;4) Engage a local institution of higher education to track student, family, and community outcomes; and5) Instill Learning Through Play methodologies in parents, caregivers, and early childhood educators, in partnership with the LEGO Foundation.USAID may allocate up to $1.5 million over the course of two years to fund a portfolio of partnerships. Ideally, the portfolio will enable USAID to ensure that each of the above objectives is advanced. However, priority will be placed on supporting the most promising approaches, even if the resulting portfolio only advances one or two of the objectives described above.
