About this file
This document is a fact sheet for the USAID/Mali Doniya Taabolo activity, a five-year, $41 million program to improve the reading and mathematics skills of children, including those with disabilities, in grades 1-4 across eight regions in Mali. The activity will pilot innovative and existing technologies to support learners' transition from local language to French instruction and strengthen learning resources in Braille and sign language. It targets 200,000 learners, approximately 50% of whom are girls, and 3% of whom have disabilities. The activity will build the capacity of school governance structures and promote the development and distribution of teaching and learning materials, as well as establish community libraries with private sector involvement. The related federal contract opportunity is the Protective Education for Girls in Mali program, which aims to improve access to quality education, enhance teacher capacity, and provide targeted support for vulnerable learners, especially girls, in Mali.

USAID/Mali Doniya Taabolo activity
CONTEXT AND OVERVIEW
Malian children are not attaining primary level literacy and numeracy skills. The education system faces a multitude of difficulties including (but not limited to) overcrowded classrooms, a dearth of instructional material, poorly trained teachers, and governance entities ill-equipped to manage their responsibilities. And children with disabilities face lots of barriers to access quality education. These challenges have resulted in poor learning outcomes. The average primary school completion rate is still less than 50%.
USAID’S RESPONSE
USAID/Mali Doniya Taabalo is expanding proven local-language literacy programming to
Grades 3 and 4 and is introducing a primary mathematics program to provide foundational skills and improve overall learning outcomes for grade 1 to 4 learners. The activity targets 200,000 learners including approximately 50 percent girls and 3% of children with disability in grades 1-4. School management committees, community volunteers, and parents are trained to support children’s learning and improve learning outcomes in reading and mathematics. USAID/Mali Doniya Taabolo builds the capacities of the school governance structures at both central and local level to strengthen the system and support the government’s efforts at localization of education delivery.
USAID/Mali Doniya Taabolo promotes the development and distribution of Teaching and
Learning Materials at primary school level and the setting up of community libraries with the involvement of the private sector.
