Cooperative Agreement

Description

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement from qualified entities to implement the Strengthening Pathways to Language, Literacy, and Learning for Deaf Learners (SPLD) activity. The purpose of the SPLD Activity is to help Rwandan deaf learners achieve commensurate early grade-level reading skills. The Activity will contribute to improved literacy outcomes for all children by the end of Primary 3 (P3) by: 1) improving parental and community support for deaf learners; 2) strengthening teacher RSL fluency and bilingual (Rwandan Sign Language (RSL) to Kinyawrwanda) deaf education pedagogy; and 3) increasing youth engagement to support RSL learning and deaf learners. Qualified applicants may be U.S. private voluntary organizations (U.S. PVOs) and/or U.S., Rwandan or other non-U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or private, non-profit organizations (or for-profit companies willing to forego profits), including universities, research organizations, professional associations, and relevant special interest associations. Public International Organizations (PIOs) and faith-based and community organizations are also eligible for the award. Please send any questions to the point of contact identified in Section G and D.1 of the attached NOFO by the deadline specified on the cover page of the NOFO. If you have difficulty registering on www.grants.gov or accessing the NOFO, please contact the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 or via email at support@grants.gov for technical assistance.
