Research Triangle Institute (RTI) has over 30 years’ experience assisting governments, communities, and the private sector. As a non-for-profit, independent research institute based in North Carolina, USA, RTI has roughly 6,000 employees with global experience implementing international development projects in education and other disciplines. RTI's International Education Division leads education development around the world by strengthening education policy, management, and practice to achieve measurable improvement in teaching and learning. From our well-established reputation in education system strengthening, to innovative work in early grade assessment and learning, RTI is improving education quality, relevance, and efficiency through implementation of projects funded by USAID, DFID, FCDO, The LEGO Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other donors and clients.
Project Description
The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Regional Fund to Expand Inclusive Access to Quality Basic Education will be a five-year cooperative agreement with an estimated total amount of up to $25,000,000 from USAID, with the expectation of obtaining other non-USAID funds to support the objectives. The primary objective of the activity is to expand inclusive access to quality basic education for marginalized and vulnerable students in a sustainable manner over time. This objective will be achieved by managing a regional fund that will have three main components: 1) a grant facility that will provide sub-grants to local organizations to expand their work in inclusive education and/or fund their ideas for promising innovations; 2) a technical assistance component to strengthen the capacity of local organizations to work with USAID, monitor and adapt their interventions, increase access and improve the quality of education for marginalized groups; and 3) a component that seeks to generate, disseminate, and use evidence and learning from local education sub-grants. The activity will closely monitor and evaluate improvements in inclusive access and quality of education with an emphasis on improving foundational skills for marginalized groups, especially in, but not limited to, the early primary grades.
