    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a Request for Information (RFI) on January 12, 2021, seeking input for its planned Strengthening Basic Education for All (SBEA) program in Burma. This initiative aims to enhance basic education opportunities over a five-year period, particularly in conflict-affected areas. USAID requests concise responses to specific questions addressing barriers to education, potential learning outcomes, risks, effective technical approaches, and collaboration with local education providers. The context highlights ongoing challenges in Myanmar's education sector, emphasizing the need to address inequities and support marginalized communities. The SBEA will align with USAID’s strategic priorities, focusing on inclusive policies and conflict-sensitive programming. Plans include strengthening collaboration with ethnic education providers and local organizations, improving literacy and social-emotional skills among children, and fostering community involvement in education. The RFI serves as a planning tool, allowing stakeholders to contribute insights that will shape future operational strategies. USAID stresses that responses will not be proposals; rather, they will inform the program's design and implementation approaches in collaboration with a diverse range of education partners.
