Request for EOIs: Teachers Cannot Wait Program

Deadline: 30-Jan-2025

The Education Cannot Wait (ECW) is looking to establish a new Acceleration Facility grant to accelerate support for teachers in formal and non-formal settings in EIEPC.

The workstreams have been developed using evidence from ECW-supported country investments, and careful analysis of systemic sectoral challenges. They include the following:

• Synthesizing the evidence-base/promising practices and making recommendations to inform ECW’s work and the other workstreams
• Advancing systems-strengthening efforts to support teacher capacities at the national and/or sub-national level in a subset of MYRP countries
• Developing and launching a global report (and/or other advocacy products) on teachers in EIEPC in 2027

Funding Information

• There is USD $2.2 million available to deliver the full scope of work. The grant is expected to run for 3 years.

Eligibility Criteria

• This RFP is open to all international and national organizations that can provide the requested goods/services/works and are legally constituted or represented in the country where the services will be delivered.
• Successful applicants will need to be HACT assessed as being either “low” or “medium” risk (in all localities of implementation, not only at HQ level), be able to register at the United Nations partner portal and pass the core assessment and PSEA assessments.
• Other parties may receive funds as implementing partners of direct grantees in line with the direct grantees’ policies on sub-grants.
