USAID/Liberia Request for Information (RFI) to provide stakeholders an opportunity to review, comment and make suggestions to enhance the design of the "Transforming the Education System for Teachers and Students (TESTS)" activity.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)

The Office of Acquisition and Assistance (OAA) at United States Agency for International Development (USAID) mission in Liberia has developed a draft concept, Theory of Change (TOC) and accompanying Results Framework to provide stakeholders an opportunity to review, comment, and make suggestions to enhance the teacher training activity design.  USAID/Liberia would like feedback on the entire document.

The draft TOC is anticipated to result in finalizing either a Statement of Work or a Program Description that may lead to a formal solicitation or Notice of Funding Opportunity. The place of performance is Liberia. The draft concept is provided in the following pages.
