USAID/Nigeria is offering a funding opportunity through the "Education Crisis Response" program aimed at expanding educational access for children and youth affected by violence in Northeastern Nigeria. The program seeks to address critical issues such as rising dropout rates, overcrowded classrooms, limited access for displaced children, and the need for qualified teachers and instructional materials. With an estimated total funding of $30 million, USAID plans to award between two to six cooperative agreements, with individual awards ranging from $300,000 to $15 million. Interested applicants should direct their inquiries to Abdullahi Sadiq at asadiq@usaid.gov and submit proposals by the deadline of September 5, 2014, with the possibility of ongoing submissions until the final closing date of July 22, 2015.
