    Description

    The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is forecasting a cooperative agreement opportunity for the "Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) and Classroom Furniture activity" in Ghana. This initiative aims to enhance educational outcomes in primary schools by increasing access to quality teaching and learning materials, particularly for marginalized children, and is designed to complement ongoing USAID efforts in strengthening Ghana's education systems. Local organizations are encouraged to participate in this market research, which seeks insights on challenges related to material access and effective collaboration with existing USAID programs, with a focus on improving resource distribution in vulnerable districts. Interested parties should contact Ruth Amegashie at ramegashie@usaid.gov by May 20, 2024, as the anticipated award will be made to a local NGO within an 18-month implementation period.

    USAID/Ghana is issuing Request for Information (RFI) number USAID-GHANA-RFI-00001 to conduct market research and gather input from local entities regarding an anticipated initiative focused on improving teaching and learning materials (TLMs) and classroom furniture for primary schools. The goal is to enhance educational outcomes by increasing access to quality resources, while specifically addressing challenges faced by marginalized children. Respondents are urged to provide insights on obstacles in material access, effective collaboration strategies with existing USAID programs, and best practices for inclusive distribution in vulnerable districts, particularly in northern Ghana. The initiative seeks to address significant gaps identified in research, such as the high proportion of households without child-oriented materials and inadequate classroom resources. A local NGO is expected to implement the activity within 18 months, ensuring coordinated engagement with relevant education stakeholders. Key expected outcomes include improved pupil-textbook ratios, access to writing materials, and efficient tracking of resource distribution. This RFI emphasizes the commitment of USAID to partner with local organizations, aligning with broader education policies and initiatives aimed at empowering communities and enhancing educational access and quality across Ghana.
