From March 2-31, USAID invites organizations to submit applications to World Learning for projects to improve the safety, well being, and development of highly vulnerable children. World Learning will award subgrants for this activity on behalf of USAID's Displaced Children and Orphans Fund.

It is anticipated that three to five grants will be awarded under this RFA and that each sub-grant will be for up to $2,500,000 for a three year (August 2009 – July 2012 approximately) project. Applicants may submit one application for either the “Strengthening Systems of Child Protection” Strategy or the “Improving Family-Level Assets and Income Generation Opportunities Through Economic Strengthening Activities” Strategy.

Further details can be found in the document below. Organizations interested in responding to this RFA may retrieve it here starting March 2, 2009.
