About this opportunity
This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the USAID Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (USAID/DRC) seeking input on the design of a new $12-14 million "Education for Social Prosperity" basic education activity in the Kasai region. The RFI aims to gather feedback from private sector, public institutions, NGOs, academia and other stakeholders on approaches to increase access to safe, inclusive, gender-responsive learning opportunities for children ages 6-17, with a special focus on girls' education. Key areas for input include gender-responsive programming, child protection mechanisms, WASH/nutrition services, teacher professional development, local governance structures, and public-private partnerships. The information gathered will inform the design of programming that builds on USAID's existing work supporting over 976,000 children in conflict-affected zones. Responses can be in French or English and should be submitted by January 24, 2025.
This RFI is not a funding opportunity, and responses do not guarantee participation in future solicitations. The activity is expected to be funded under USAID's Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA 98.001), which supports a wide range of international development initiatives. Recent awards under this program have ranged from $250,000 to over $70 million, with typical durations of 1-5 years. The activity will be implemented in the Kasai region of the DRC.

This a Request for Information (RFI)
The USAID Mission in the DRC is in the process of designing a new basic education activity to increase access to safe, inclusive, gender-responsive learning opportunities for children and youth ranging in age from 6 to 17 years old. The planned $12-14 million Education for Social Prosperity activity will build upon USAID/DRC's investments in the Kasai region to increase access to quality and relevant learning opportunities with tailored approaches for girls and support communities to become more resilient. By issuing this Request for Information (RFI), USAID/DRC aims to consult with the broad community of private sector actors, public institutions, development partners, non-governmental organizations, industry associations, civil society, think tanks, and academia concerned with education in the Kasai region. Your comments will inform our activity design to ensure efficient and effective use of contextualized best practices, coordination with existing and planned USAID and other development partner programs, as well as alignment with the Government of DRC's (GDRC) priorities. Not responding to this request does not preclude participation in any future solicitation.
Further details about this activity shall be provided through USAID Business Forecast based on completion of design and internal clearances.
