The successful applicant(s) will be subject to a responsibility determination issued by a warranted Agreement Officer (AO) in USAID. The Recipient must be a responsible entity. The AO may determine a pre-award survey is required and if so, would establish a formal survey team to conduct an examination that will determine whether the prospective recipient has the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills – or ability to obtain them – in order to achieve the objectives of the program.

    Description: Marginalized Palestinian areas suffer from a multitude of political, security and socio-economic problems that hinder development work and put the population at serious risk. The Palestinian Authority (PA) has limited authority and capability to reach all Palestinian areas to provide meaningful support to its residents. The School Improvement Program will implement interventions to improve the educational environment and quality of education in the most disadvantaged Palestinian areas. This program will provide support to public and private schools in the most disadvantaged Palestinian areas. The primary goal of the program is to improve access to quality education and mitigate challenges to youth development in marginalized areas. The sub-goals include: 1) Improved educational facilities through renovation.2) Improved teaching and learning through teacher training as appropriate, provision of educational resources, and collaboration with local communities.3) Expanded opportunities for youth development through extracurricular activities, career counseling and training in schools after hours.Illustrative outcomes include:• Improved human and physical educational resources that contribute to narrowing the achievement gap between students in underserved and better served Palestinian areas.• Organized and sustained extracurricular activities and youth programs.• Established networks between teachers, administrators, counselors, officials and community representatives in the targeted schools aiming at improving the quality of education and youth programming.• Enhanced community involvement in school decision-making.• Strengthened educational institutions that provide services to learners.
