What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The objective of this activity is to improve reading, math instruction and learning outcomes using bilingual methodology in primary grades 4, 5, and 6 in the provinces of Nampula and Zambezia, following the Ministério da Educação e Desenvolvimento Humano (MINEDH) strategy. This NOFO will also deliver remedial math and reading instruction to students in grades 1 to 3 and consolidate prior results achieved with USAID technical-professional and material assistance. The activity will use existing USAID-supported Early Grade Reading (EGR) materials to assist MINEDH in providing reading and math instruction services to targeted districts[1] where children speak the same first language (L1).
