USAID/Afghanistan has issued a Request for Information (RFI) concerning the “Afghanistan Integrated Youth Activity,” aiming to gather insights from organizations to address the significant educational and vocational challenges facing Afghan youth. With over 60% of Afghanistan's population under 25 and many lacking essential skills for sustainable employment, the initiative intends to enhance access to education and training in key sectors, particularly agriculture. The RFI seeks specific input on various topics, including barriers to providing vocational training, innovative educational approaches, and the current capacity of private training providers in Afghanistan. These insights will be instrumental in shaping potential USAID interventions designed to equip youth with necessary skills for employment and entrepreneurship in a changing economy. Interested parties must submit responses by March 21, 2024, detailing their expertise and recommendations without submitting formal applications or proposals. This information gathering serves solely as a preparatory phase and does not obligate the U.S. Government financially or contractually.
