UItnodiging - USAID ESC Basic Education Industry Day - Dutch.pdf

This document is a pre-solicitation notice for an upcoming USAID education activity in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean region. USAID is designing a new activity to invest in local institutions and organizations to achieve measurable improvements in youth's soft skills development and employment outcomes, with a focus on youth aged 15-24 who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). USAID is inviting local service providers, academic institutions, private sector partners, and civil society organizations that provide training and job opportunities for youth to attend an interactive hybrid Industry Day event to learn more about the planned activity. The activity will use a pay-for-results approach where USAID pays for realized results. The initial beneficiary countries are Suriname and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with potential expansion to the broader Eastern Caribbean subject to funding availability. The pre-solicitation notice provides an overview of USAID's goals and the planned approach for the new education activity.
