Integrated Child and Youth Development Activity (ICYD Activity)

Dear Sir/Madam:

The United States Agency for International Development Mission to Uganda (USAID/Uganda) is seeking proposals from qualified organizations interested in delivering basic education and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) services to children and youth in target districts across Uganda by strengthening young people’s ability to critically engage with their environment, address their health and safety needs, and make it more likely to reach their potential.

This procurement will be conducted under full and open competition under which any type of organization (U.S. and Non-U.S. commercial for profit firms, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations) is eligible to compete. The procedures set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation

(FAR) Part 15 apply.

USAID anticipates awarding a five-year Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) completion type contract, with a total estimated range of $145,000,000-$155,000,000 for the implementation of this activity, covering a total estimated period of five years. The contract period is comprised of a base period of two years and three, one-year option periods. The purpose of providing an estimated range for the contract is to help Offerors develop their proposals. Offerors will provide the lowest possible cost corresponding with their technical approach.

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the contract is to implement USAID/Uganda’s Integrated Child and Youth

Development activity, henceforth referred to as the ICYD Activity. The Uganda ICYD Activity acquisition is to deliver basic education and OVC services to children and youth in target districts across Uganda by strengthening young people’s ability to critically engage with their environment, address their health and safety needs, and make it more likely to reach their potential. A guiding principle of this acquisition is the need to transition PEPFAR/OVC service delivery to Ugandan public, civil society, and private sector actors.

C.2 PURPOSE

The purpose of the Integrated Child and Youth Development Activity is to address

USAID/Uganda’s development objectives relating to child wellbeing, education, and youth development. This activity shall be a flagship program administered by the Office of Education, Youth, and Child Development, the unit responsible for the Mission’s education and

PEPFAR/Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) funding streams. The Contractor shall use basic education, higher education, and PEPFAR funds1 to implement an approach that contributes to the ICYD Activity’s overarching goal:

Ugandan children and youth, especially the most vulnerable, receive the support and services necessary to lead resilient, healthy, and productive lives.

The Mission recognizes that there are multiple compelling pathways to achieving this goal and therefore expects offerors to propose creative solutions within mandatory parameters outlined in this SOW. Annex B provides the minimum geographic coverage and approach considerations that ICYD Activity must attend to. Remaining resources shall be applied creatively to best address the activity’s objectives and contribute to the goal-level outcome.

C.3 SUMMARY SCOPE

USAID/Uganda intends to award one (1) ICYD Activity contract—an integrated education and

PEPFAR/OVC award that supports Uganda on its journey to self-reliance, promotes U.S. foreign policy and development interests, and measurably improves children and youth’s attainment of healthy, productive, and secure lives. A guiding principle of this acquisition is the need to transition service delivery to Ugandan public, civil society, and private sector actors over the course of this award. In particular, OVC direct service delivery must transition to Ugandan

1 See Annex C for a breakdown of expected funding streams.

RFP Page 16 of 175 partners during the period of performance of this award and the Offeror’s approach to the local institutional capacity building should be well explained in their proposal.

The Contractor, also referred to as the ICYD Activity Prime Implementing Partner (Prime IP), must use an integrated approach to realize the following:

Objective 1: Children and youth have improved learning outcomes;

Objective 2: Children and youth are protected, safe, and healthy in their homes, communities, and learning environments;

Objective 3: Youth practice positive behaviors and make informed decisions about their lives and relationships.

These objectives are designed to be mutually reinforcing, emphasizing the relationship between improved learning outcomes and improved wellbeing. ICYD shall consist of a comprehensive approach that merges PEPFAR/OVC’s support for acute vulnerability stabilization with education’s broad protective effects.

Education and OVC assistance tools shall be integrated within the activity, while externally, ICYD shall work closely with PEPFAR clinical partners and other health, education, safety, and economic strengthening service providers supported by U.S. Government, the Government of

Uganda (GOU), civil society, and other donors. The ICYD Activity shall contend with five mandatory tasks to achieve the three stated objectives.

1. Build from recent early-grade reading (EGR) support to the Ministry of Education and

Sports (MOES) and target districts.

2. Address primary school retention through a combination of family, community and school-based interventions that address known critical drivers of school dropout.

3. Provide critical OVC services directly for up two years while building the capacity of local partners to transition to prime awards with USAID/Uganda.

4. Provide technical assistance and coordination to OVC service providers in service delivery districts.

5. Deliver effective technical assistance and support to MGLSD, MOES and other public/private institutions and organizations to progressively transition OVC service delivery and education improvement from donor support.

Embedded within each of these five mandatory tasks are the principles of the USAID Policy

Framework2, specifically the Vision for the Journey to Self-Reliance. This Vision requires the

ICYD contractor to be responsive to issues of national commitment and capacity. For the ICYD

Activity, all tasks proposed must consider the cross-cutting principles of:

1. Family and community engagement increased;

2. Public and private institutional and organizational performance improved; and,

3. Institutional commitment increased.

C.4 BACKGROUND

C.4.1 COUNTRY CONTEXT

Children and youth make up more than 75 percent of Uganda’s population. The median Ugandan citizen is symbolically represented as a 14-year-old girl3. The 14-year-old girl is subject to multiple levels of vulnerability, including social isolation, economic insecurity, gender-based violence, forced marriage, and HIV-infection. Her situation is influenced heavily by her relationships with her parents, family, and caregivers; her community; boys and men; her teachers; as well as by larger social forces that perpetuate exploitation, poor health and safety outcomes, and diminished economic opportunity.

Problem Statement: Ugandan children and youth, particularly vulnerable populations and girls, face significant barriers to acquiring the skills and assets needed to lead healthy and productive lives and to be resilient in the face of shocks and stressors. Government systems and local institutions have underdeveloped capabilities and commitment to deliver basic education and social protection services. This leads to failures in meeting minimum standards and puts young people’s long-term future at risk. As a result, Ugandan families and communities carry a high burden in ensuring the wellbeing, safety and education of children and youth. The Mission’s approach to integrated development programming in support of the 14-year-old girl is described in its 2016-2021 Strategy4, which also contains a more detailed discussion of the Mission’s view of the Ugandan development context.

ICYD shall work closely with the Government of Uganda (GOU). USAID has long-standing partnerships with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES) and Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development (MGLSD) to improve early-grade reading, improve learner retention rates in school, reduce instances of gender-based violence and child endangerment, and strengthen child protection systems and service delivery. ICYD must build from these partnerships, at a minimum, as described in Section C.5.2.

C.4.2 OBJECTIVES IN CONTEXT

Since 2012, the Mission has partnered with the MOES to improve learning outcomes through an intensive focus on early grade reading. ICYD must build on the successes, challenges, and partnerships fostered through USAID’s School Health and Reading Program (SHRP) and

Literacy Achievement and Retention Activity (LARA), ending in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Both SHRP and LARA have used basic education and PEPFAR/OVC funds to support foundational skills development, specifically early grade reading, in conjunction with curricula fostering greater health-seeking behaviors and reductions in violence in schools and communities. (See Annex D for a brief summary of publicly available SHRP and LARA programmatic evaluation reports.)

Over the course of SHRP and LARA implementation, Uganda has seen steady, but slow, national improvement in basic literacy achievement in early primary school. ICYD must situate

USAID’s contribution to national progress within existing GOU and other donor initiatives.

While literacy shall remain as USAID’s primary measure of learning outcomes, given the higher-level objectives expected of this contract, additional education-related outcomes are important to improve learning, retention, and future wellbeing of youth. The pairing of education and

PEPFAR/OVC programming is a response to the Mission’s observation that the slow rate of improved literacy attainment is explained by a complex nexus of home, community, and school-related factors. ICYD must grapple with this complexity.

Children and youth are protected, safe, and healthy in their homes, communities, and learning environments

PEPFAR/OVC support to the community and household is meant to strengthen critical services that reduce or respond to issues of HIV-infection, abuse, and household economic vulnerabilities. Education retention is a recognized correlate with reduced vulnerability and better HIV-related outcomes, especially for adolescent girls and young women.

The ICYD Activity shall build on the Mission’s investments with the MGLSD to strengthen child protection systems. The ICYD Activity shall also support the GOU as it develops social service and case management institutions that can sustainably contribute to a reduction in child-related violence cases and link vulnerable families to critical social services. Current systems strengthening assistance to the MGLSD is implemented through the Coordinating

Comprehensive Care for Children (4Children) activity, while the bulk of USAID’s

PEPFAR/OVC service delivery support is carried out through the Better Outcomes for Children and Youth (BOCY) and Sustainable Outcomes for Children and Youth (SOCY) activities. ICYD must combine both regulatory and service delivery support in order to prepare the child protection sector for an environment of reduced PEPFAR funding—an expected eventuality as

Uganda approaches HIV epidemic control.

The ICYD Activity must also build from the Mission’s work in the area of preventing and responding to school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV). The Mission recognizes this area of programming as critical to addressing learning space and community abuse, violence, and intimidation factors that contribute to poor attendance and retention rates in school. USAID, through LARA, has developed the Journeys HIV and violence prevention curriculum that is endorsed by the GOU. The ICYD Activity shall continue support for Journeys and provide implementation and technical assistance support to MOES as it takes over the responsibility of administering the modules in schools and communities.

Youth practice positive behaviors and make informed decisions about their lives and relationships

The ICYD Activity must strengthen young people’s ability to critically engage with their environment, address their health and safety needs, and make it more likely that they reach their full potential. ICYD shall strategically combine learning from the Mission’s current and prior activities described above with innovative approaches so that youth receive comprehensive programming tailored to build their skills, assets and competencies and foster healthy relationships that support them in reaching their potential. The ICYD Activity must include creative interventions that address the limited opportunities and vulnerabilities of out-of-school children in specific localities. Targeted interventions, on need and locality basis, shall be required to enhance the soft skills and spur the entrepreneurial disposition of out-of-school youth to enable them to contribute as productive members of their respective communities. The ICYD

Activity shall apply approaches from the PEPFAR DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) initiative to address the unique challenges that adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) face. Positive Youth Development (PYD) concepts must also be included in ICYD Activity’s implementation approach.

C.4.3 RELATIONSHIP TO CDCS AND OTHER US GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS

The ICYD activity is responsive to USAID/Uganda’s 2016-2021 Country Development

Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). Key themes such as the Mission’s guiding principles, a focus on the integration of technical sectors, lasting partnerships with Ugandan institutions, and local ownership and transition to Ugandan-led development must be a part of the activity. The ICYD

Activity must be the flagship activity within the Mission’s Demographic Drivers Project (DO2), which is a grouping of education; family health; water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH);

economic opportunity; and child protection interventions that seek structural and institutional change leading to healthier, better educated, and more resilient families and communities. It supports the human development factors that make structural economic transformation possible, leading to lower dependency ratios, increased savings and social safety nets, and the potential to enjoy a demographic dividend. The ICYD Activity shall work collaboratively, and in a

RFP Page 20 of 175 coordinated manner, with other USAID activities falling under DO2 and across the CDCS.

At present, USAID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Department of Defense (DOD), are the three agencies responsible for PEPFAR/OVC service delivery in

Uganda. Gradually, from 2020 to 2023, the full PEPFAR/Uganda OVC portfolio shall transition to USAID. The ICYD Activity contractor is expected to work closely with CDC, DOD, and their partners to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities, especially with respect to beneficiary care. Strong linkages to PEPFAR clinical partners, supported through CDC, DOD, and USAID, are also a critical element of successful OVC programming.

C.4.4 OTHER DONOR PROGRAMS

USAID’s support to Uganda is firmly anchored in partnership with other bilateral and multilateral donors working in the education and child protection sectors. The Education

Development Partners group is a useful platform to coordinate programming and present a shared development partner perspective to relevant GOU Institutions. At a minimum, responses to this Solicitation should take into account linkages between the UK Department for

International Development (DFID) Strengthening Education Systems for Improved Learning

(SESIL) program and the Global Partnership for Education’s work in supporting MOES’ implementation of the early grade reading approach in approximately 30 districts. Understanding the landscape of broader sectoral support by donors is a necessary precondition of a strong proposal. Likewise, UNICEF, the World Bank, and several European, Japanese, and Korean institutions are active in the household economic strengthening and child protection sectors, each of which offer ample opportunities for partnership.

The ICYD Activity must ensure that its support does not duplicate other donor efforts. Areas of natural and deliberate intersection with other donor programs should be carefully designed to complement rather than duplicate efforts in order to advance the stated goals of the ICYD activity.

C.5 SCOPE OF WORK

C.5.1 Objectives

The Mission recognizes that challenges facing children and youth are multifaceted and require intentionally integrated programming in partnership with local institutions, as detailed below.

Annex B lists all of Uganda’s current districts, defines the six OVC service delivery zones, and provides detail on required minimum geographic coverage for EGR and OVC service delivery.

Annex B is a minimum expectation and can be expanded in respondent proposals within the available resources and the proposed approach.

RFP Page 21 of 175

Annex G provides required and illustrative indicators linked to each of the ICYD Activity objectives and relevant tasks.

Contract Objectives:

● Children and youth have improved learning outcomes

● Children and youth are protected, safe, and healthy in their homes, communities, and learning environments

● Youth practice positive behaviors and make informed decisions about their lives and relationships

C.5.2 Tasks

C.5.2.1 Task 1: Build from recent EGR support to MOES and target districts.

USAID/Uganda has invested heavily in Uganda’s steady gains in early grade reading. Yet overall progress is held back due to persistent poverty; violence in schools, homes, and communities; absenteeism from learners and teachers; and low standards for teacher training, deployment, professional development, and mentorship among other explanatory and interlinking factors. Successful implementation must leverage global, regional, and/or in-country expertise on improving EGR at scale and shall apply an approach that builds from Uganda’s recent success and addresses the constraints to foster EGR progress, especially for the high proportion of learners who continue to struggle in achieving basic literacy.

Expected Results:

● Increased percentage of learners in ICYD-supported schools who attain minimum grade-level proficiency in reading at the end of grade 2

● Decreased percentage of learners in ICYD-supported schools who are unable to read a single word in local language in grade 2

● Increase percentage of learners in ICYD-supported schools who can read at least 60 words per minute in English at the end of grade 4

C.5.2.2 Task 2: Address primary school retention through a combination of family, community and school-based interventions that address known critical drivers of school dropout.

ICYD Activity interventions must build from ongoing efforts to create safer and more positive learning environments in schools in the activity’s operating districts. This must include implementing the Journeys HIV and violence prevention curriculum in schools and supporting interventions to reinforce positive learning environments. At present, the Journeys curriculum is

RFP Page 22 of 175 provided in a subset of EGR supported districts as well as in selected non-overlapping OVC service delivery districts. The Mission is currently conducting an impact evaluation of the

Journeys intervention. The ICYD Activity must be responsive to the findings of this evaluation and consider the results as part of its Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) and adaptive management planning. Results are expected in early 2021.5

The ICYD Activity shall at minimum support school retention through education subsidies and economic strengthening interventions by using OVC funds for enrolled OVC households. The activity must continue to strengthen referral systems that link schools to health and social welfare services, networks for abuse survivors, and justice system services when applicable. The activity shall facilitate community engagement with schools and must sensitize caregivers to the importance of school attendance, retention and completion.

● Increased primary school retention rates in ICYD service delivery zones

● Increased primary to secondary school transition rates within OVC enrolled households

● Increased number of ICYD-supported schools implementing safe school programs and maintaining school-safety standards

C.5.2.3 Task 3: Provide critical OVC services directly for up to two years while building the capacity of local partners to transition to prime awards with USAID/Uganda.

For the first two years of this award, the ICYD Activity shall provide PEPFAR/OVC services according to current guidance from PEPFAR and USAID/Uganda, noting that PEPFAR guidance and targets are adjusted annually. These services must be structured as a contribution to reaching and maintaining HIV-epidemic control in Uganda. In Uganda, increasingly more

PEPFAR/Uganda programming is focused on targets responding to the specific needs of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) due to their disproportionate vulnerability to contracting HIV.

The ICYD Activity must apply a range of interventions supported by OVC guidance including:

HIV and GBV prevention and response for 10-17 year olds; linkages and coordination with clinical services (in line with an approved screening tool and PEPFAR guidance); school-fee subsidies; economic strengthening that leads to families graduating from the program; and stabilizing acute vulnerabilities to HIV infection or poor treatment adherence. Delivery of these services must be driven by a case management approach for enrolled beneficiaries. Case management shall track progress against a case plan to move families in the program toward

5 USAID/Uganda has focused its evaluation portfolio on rigorously testing the impact of its EGR, GBV, and OVC programming.

Publicly available reports related to current programming are listed in Annex D. Final analysis shall be available upon the schedule listed in Annex D.

RFP Page 23 of 175

PEPFAR/OVC graduation benchmarks. Data related to the tracking of these services must be integrated into a case management information system so that the activity is able to keep track and learn from service delivery and outcome patterns.

USAID/Uganda has also structured the ICYD activity to address the target requirements set by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) for local partner transition of obligated PEPFAR funding (see Section C.9 for information regarding local partners). The Mission has divided Uganda into six OVC service delivery zones (see Annex A, Map A3). The Southwest and East Central zone shall be awarded to local partners concurrently with ICYD. In the remaining four zones, the ICYD activity shall be the main service delivery provider for up to two years.

During the first two years, the ICYD Activity contractor shall provide capacity building and technical assistance to its local partner sub-award(s), preparing them for a potential transition to their own prime award (see Annex B - Timeline Considerations for a General Schedule of ICYD direct service delivery activities and anticipated timeline for the transition of local partners to prime awards, independent of the ICYD Activity, but with collaboration and implementation coordination expectations). Building the administrative and technical capacity of local service partners is critical to the long-term success of a sustainable social protection system in Uganda.

Therefore, the Mission shall work closely with the ICYD Activity contractor in identifying capacity gaps and applying resources to support these organizations to independently operate and lead their own consortiums. For these local firms, the ICYD Activity contractor must be the lead service provider for organizational development and technical/service delivery capacity building.

The ICYD activity contractor shall work closely with other financial and administrative capacity building partners6 to support local members within the ICYD Activity implementing partner consortium to succeed as independent award holders after transition.

For the Southwest and East Central zone that shall already be administered by a local partner, the

ICYD activity contractor shall provide ongoing technical assistance so that the entire

PEPFAR/OVC portfolio is able to aggregate results, adapt to new findings, and ensure quality services are delivered.

Expected results:

● Reduced economic vulnerability of OVC households

● Increased percentage of HIV-positive OVC beneficiaries with suppressed viral load

● Targeted number of OVC households in ICYD service delivery zones that graduate according to PEPFAR criteria and maintain their reduced vulnerability status

6 Financial and administrative capacity building includes Organizational Capacity Assessments (OCA), financial and HR system development, readiness for passing the Non-U.S. Organization Pre-award Survey (NUPAS), and ability to comply with USAID regulations.

RFP Page 24 of 175

● Up to Approximately four (4) local OVC service delivery partners satisfy technical capacity requirements for direct USAID awards. USAID expects ICYD Activity to transition each of the four service delivery zones (North East, North West, West Central and Capital) to at least one local partner in each zone under their own prime award(s) starting in Year 3.

C.5.2.4 Task 4: Provide technical assistance and coordination to OVC service providers in service delivery districts.

At the start of the Activity, the contractor shall be responsible for OVC service provision in four of the six geographic zones illustrated in Figure A3 (Annex A); the Southwest and East Central zones shall be covered under separate award(s). For the remaining four zones, after two years of capacity building support, ICYD must transition members of its consortium to independent awards that shall take over the direct responsibility of OVC service provision. After transition, in years three to five of this Contract, ICYD shall continue to provide technical coordination support across the OVC activities (across all six zones). This coordination shall ensure a harmonized approach, technical excellence and alignment with the GOU and USAID OVC strategy.

Throughout the entire period of performance, the ICYD activity contractor must maintain a close relationship with all USAID/Uganda’s OVC service delivery implementing partners in all service delivery zones. This means that in Year One, ICYD shall have a large OVC service delivery responsibility; however, by Year Five, the nature of this role must have changed to technical assistance, coordination, and quality monitoring across all PEPFAR/OVC service delivery partners. See Annex B for timeline considerations.

The various interventions of all OVC service providers need to be based on current evidence and be responsive to changes in the HIV epidemic. Robust linkages and coordination between community programs and clinical services for HIV-infected and HIV-affected children must be guaranteed according to existing or future PEPFAR guidance. Supporting all USAID/Uganda’s

OVC implementing partners to use a case management system aligned to the national OVC MIS is critical.

Over the whole period of performance, the activity must assist local partners in performance monitoring and reporting in line with the PEPFAR Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting

(MER) Guidance, national reporting requirements and PEPFAR/Uganda custom indicators.

Implementation of the ICYD Activity shall be characterized by data-driven learning and adaptation, the continuous identification, diagnosis and successful resolution of implementation challenges, and an overall upward trajectory on all performance indicators over time. Continuous learning, adaptation and quality improvement should apply to all technical areas and be

RFP Page 25 of 175 systematized for efficient adoption of effective practices.

During the life of the Activity, all USG funded PEPFAR/OVC service provision must be transitioned to USAID from the two other Uganda PEPFAR/OVC implementing agencies: CDC and DOD. The ICYD Activity contractor must ensure that the transition of beneficiaries between partners or sub-partners is well managed so that cases are either completed with graduation or taken up by the incoming partner.
