The teaching is typically more subject-focused, requiring more specialized teachers and materials for each subject area. The end of this level often coincides with the end of compulsory education. Lower secondary education is sometimes referred to as junior high school, middle school, or junior secondary school.
Power Africa:  U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) (USAID Africa Regional):  The U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) will use FY 2021 funds to award grants to African energy enterprises, focusing on productive use of energy (PUE) in agriculture; electrification for healthcare facilities, including COVID-19 response centers; and energy access and poverty alleviation in frontier markets, including the Sahel and Horn regions. Enterprises will use the funds to expand the use of proven technologies in the off-grid sector, including solar home systems, mini-grids, productive use technologies, and digitization strategies. The funded companies will address the energy needs of households, businesses and farmers, and given the perhaps lasting effects COVID-19, continue to focus on powering healthcare facilities. USADF will use its convening power and network to support grantees in accessing follow-on financing at the end of the grant period. USADF will use its comparative advantage of being able to operate in some of the most underserved and "frontier" markets where others do not operate, using its network of local implementing partners and partnerships with host governments. USADF is the best implementing partner given that it has more experience carrying out this type of funding window with 100% African-owned/managed enterprises than any other partner in the sector. The activity supports Power Africa's top-line goal by adding new connections, addressing energy poverty and supporting human development. The activity supports the Administration's priority of advancing renewable energy and combating climate change as 100% of USADF grantees work in renewable energy, and some of them deploy PUE technologies that help off-grid customers adapt to climate change effects. By supporting solutions such as solar home systems and mini-grids that are powered by off-grid energy in marginalized communities, USADF promotes renewable energy, and advances energy resilience, energy security, and independence.....
