SHARE: Supporting the Hardest to Reach through basic Education
The global objective of this call for proposals is: To contribute to the achievement of Bangladesh’s development goals and to a national basic education framework.
The specific objective (s) of this Call for Proposals is: To provide basic education opportunities of quality for the hardest to reach children and their parents and guardians, in up to all 6 divisions in Bangladesh, using a variety of approaches that yield lessons about what works best and why, share best practice, and help build results-based-management capacity and culture, in coherent linkages with the formal primary education system and other non-formal education initiatives.
Priorities for the programme include: (i) providing access to basic education of quality for those who would otherwise be excluded, building on proven good practice, (ii) maximising the efficient use of resources, particularly through the adoption of holistic approaches; and (iii) the promotion and further development of a lessons-learning culture.
The main target groups are out-of-school children living in the most geographically inaccessible areas (chars, haors, Chittagong Hill Tracts etc), from the poorest quintile of society, ethnic minorities, street children, and children with special needs (i.e. children with physical or mental handicaps). They are going to be provided with quality basic education. Optionally, the applicants may decide to also offer pre-primary education, basic education for the children’s parents or guardians, and/or support to low-performing equally disadvantaged children who are enrolled at government schools.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 1 March 2011. For more information, visit this link.
