Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 492 18 OED 001
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Inclusive Education for Children in the Philippines" is a USAID-funded education initiative managed by USAID-Manila (Agency for International Development, Philippines). It is designed to strengthen inclusive education and improve literacy outcomes by focusing specifically on children with hearing and/or vision impairments. At its core, the opportunity is aimed at making sure these learners are identified earlier and more accurately, receive better-targeted instruction, and have stronger ongoing support within the education system, so they can participate meaningfully in school alongside their peers.
This opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number RFI 492 18 OED 001 and falls under the category "Other," with funding provided through a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the funder expects to stay actively involved during implementation, meaning the selected recipient would likely coordinate closely with USAID during planning, execution, monitoring, and any necessary adjustments to activities. The funding activity category is Education, and the listing references CFDA number 98.001, which is commonly associated with USAID foreign assistance programs.
The available funding has an award ceiling of $1,200,000, and USAID expects to make one award under this opportunity. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types, although applicants would still need to confirm any specific conditions described in the opportunity's eligibility clarification text (not provided in the excerpt). The opportunity was created on December 13, 2017, with an original closing date of January 3, 2018, which indicates it operated on a relatively short submission window.
Programmatically, the work centers on practical improvements across three linked areas: detection, instruction, and support. "Detection" implies building or upgrading screening and identification approaches so that children with hearing and vision impairments are recognized early enough to prevent avoidable learning delays. "Instruction" implies strengthening teaching methods, materials, and classroom practices so lessons are accessible to learners with sensory impairments, which can include adapting literacy instruction and improving teacher capacity to use inclusive strategies. "Support" suggests ensuring learners receive the services and accommodations they need to remain engaged and progress academically, which may involve coordination with schools, families, and relevant service providers to address barriers that interfere with learning.
Overall, the grant is structured as a single, relatively substantial award intended to deliver focused improvements in how the Philippine education system identifies and serves children with hearing and/or vision impairments, with the broader goal of improving inclusive education participation and literacy outcomes.Apply for RFI 492 18 OED 001
