Call for Proposals: Strengthening Innovation and Practice in Secondary Education


A group of philanthropic organizations are partnering to provide up to $5 million for efforts to increase the participation, quality, and relevance of secondary education for marginalized children in developing countries. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, The MasterCard Foundation, Douglas B. Marshall Jr. Family Foundation and an anonymous donor will identify and support innovative initiatives that provide learning opportunities and life and livelihood skills for underserved youth between the ages 12-19 in East Africa (Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda), Nigeria, and India.

High-quality, relevant secondary school education has measurable positive associations with young people's health, improved child mortality rates, reduced population growth, and greater economic growth. Likewise, more education for girls brings well demonstrated benefits for them and is correlated with related benefits for the whole society. Girls with higher levels of education marry later, have smaller families, survive childbirth at higher rates, experience reduced incidences of HIV/AIDS, have children more likely to survive to age five, earn more, and may contribute to higher rates of economic growth at the national level.

The collaborating organizations will jointly select projects to improve learning and access to education for marginalized groups of children; research to build a rigorous evidence base regarding the barriers to providing quality, relevant secondary education to underserved populations and policy-related solutions for overcoming these barriers; and planning for scaling-up successful models.

Interested organizations must submit an initial letter of inquiry no later than July 5, 2012. More information about the call for proposals and the selection process is avalable online.
