Bridge to Middle School Activity
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Mission in Morocco (USAID/Morocco) seeks concept papers from eligible applicants to implement the Bridge to Middle School Activity.
USAID intends to make a single award to the responsible applicant whose application best meets the objectives of this funding opportunity based on the merit review criteria described in this NOFO subject to a risk assessment.
Eligible parties interested in applying are encouraged to read this NOFO thoroughly to understand the type of program sought, application submission requirements and selection process.
While one award is anticipated as a result of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), USAID reserves the right to fund any or none of the concept paper applications submitted.
Subject to funds availability, the anticipated funding for the USAID/Morocco Bridge to Middle School Activity is $25 million over a five-year period.
Final authority for assistance awards resides with the USAID/Morocco Agreement Officer.
The USAID/Morocco Bridge to Middle School Activity will follow a “Three-Phase Merit Review” process of application selection:
● Phase 1 is the submission, review and evaluation of a written concept paper.
Applicants will be evaluated based on the Phase 1 (Concept Paper).
The Apparently Successful Applicant (ASA) will be invited to Phase 2, Co-creation, and all other applicants will be notified that were not selected.
● Only the ASA will be invited to participate in Phase 2, Co-creation.
For Phase 2, USAID will convene a co-creation event with USAID, the Applicant and other stakeholders.
● If the Co-creation is successful, the Apparently Successful Applicant (ASA) will be invited to Phase 3 and requested to submit a Full Application.
The ASA will develop and submit a Final Application, including a cost application, for final consideration.
The Final Application will then be evaluated for determination of the award.
Details regarding the requirements for Phase 1 are described in this document.
The requirements for Phases 2 and 3 will be provided to the ASA at the completion of Phase 1. Additional details regarding the concept paper evaluation are provided in Section D - Concept Paper Submission Information.
