McGovern-Dole FY2023 Notice of Funding Opportunity Q&A

Week of 04/03/2023

1. Q: As outlined in Appendix K (format for activity description), prior to the narrative, content (e.g., result, responsible, coordinating entities, and beneficiaries) are listed which captures a high-level overview of each activity but where do we indicate the result/outcome of the activity? Are the beneficiaries supposed to capture this information or should those details be separate, embedded in the narrative, or at the end?

A: Applicants’ activity descriptions should state the related result(s) as well as the number of beneficiaries. Section 4 (b) Plan of Operations in the McGovern-Dole NOFO provides the following guidance for activity descriptions: “...this section must detail how each activity will lead to the results the Applicant includes in the Part D Section 4ei: Project-Level Results

Framework.” Appendix K of the NOFO provides an example format for activity descriptions, which includes listing the result(s) and other key information at the top of each activity:

“Results: Increased Knowledge and Skills of Teachers (McGovern-Dole 1.1.4)

Responsible: Implementing Organization Subawardee X

Coordinating Entities: Country X Ministry of Education, Local Literacy Org, USAID Education

Beneficiaries: 100 teacher trainers, estimated 1000 teachers total”
