The grant from the United States Agency for International Development Nigeria (USAID - OM) provided $24,494,940 to Creative Associates International Inc. under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas to implement the Nigeria Education Crisis Response project aiming to expand access to quality, protective and relevant non-formal education and alternative education opportunities for internally displaced persons and out-of-school children aged 6-17 in the Nigerian states of Adamawa, Bauchi, and Gombe. Two subgrants were awarded, one to Florida State University Sponsored Research Administration Division to review and revise teacher training guides and learner materials focusing on literacy and numeracy, and the other to International Rescue Committee, Inc. to oversee and monitor the establishment and management of non-formal learning centers, youth learning centers, and adolescent girls learning centers run by local civil society partners in Adamawa State to accommodate over 11,000 students by the end of the three-year project period.
