Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068524RFI00001
USAID/Senegal is circulating a draft concept note for an anticipated activity called "Acces a l'Education / Access to Education (A2E)" and is requesting feedback specifically on that draft concept. This notice is not positioned as a full grant solicitation yet; it is an information-gathering step where USAID-Dakar is inviting comments to help shape the final design of the activity before any formal procurement or funding announcement is released.
The central goal of A2E is to expand education opportunities for marginalized children and youth in selected target areas of Senegal. The concept emphasizes reaching learners who are currently underserved or excluded, and it frames the intervention around practical, community-responsive ways to bring more young people into learning pathways, rather than relying only on standard, one-size-fits-all schooling models.
To achieve that goal, the planned activity intends to support alternative education options tailored to local needs. In practice, this typically refers to flexible or non-traditional learning models that can better fit the realities of marginalized populations and the constraints in specific communities, such as distance, cost, language, seasonal work, or other barriers that keep children and youth out of school. The concept note highlights that these options should be responsive to community priorities, suggesting that local context and community input are expected to guide what programming looks like in each target zone.
A2E also aims to strengthen the ability of local actors to sustain and support education. The draft concept points to capacity enhancement for local communities, government bodies, and other key stakeholders, signaling a systems-oriented approach where improving education access is not only about delivering services, but also about reinforcing the institutions and community structures that make education possible over time. This could include better coordination, improved local planning and management, stronger community engagement, and more effective collaboration among education stakeholders, though the notice itself stays at a high level.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under the title "ACCES A L'EDUCATION / ACCESS TO EDUCATION (A2E)" with funding opportunity number 72068524RFI00001. It is categorized as "Other" for both opportunity category and instrument type, consistent with a Request for Information-style posting focused on collecting comments rather than awarding funding at this stage. The activity area is aligned with Education, Employment, Labor and Training under CFDA 98.001. Eligible applicants are listed as unrestricted, which generally indicates that any type of organization may provide input on the draft concept, not that awards are currently being made. The posting shows an original closing date of 2024-01-12, and no award ceiling or expected number of awards is specified, reinforcing that the immediate purpose is to solicit comments on the draft concept rather than to issue an award.Apply for 72068524RFI00001
