Call for Proposal - Educational Services in Existing Shelters

This Request for Proposal falls under the project entitled ‘Supporting Beirut’s Immediate Social Recovery Services” funded by the World Bank. All activities carried out by the IRC partners under this project are fully funded by the Bank.

Objectives of the Request for Proposal (RFP)

The IRC aims to establish one partnership with a LNGO through an open competitive selection process in Beirut and Mount Lebanon areas.

If formal schooling for the Syrian refugees is not possible due to institutional barriers or the boys and girls’ academic background, they will receive literacy and numeracy activities. These numeracy and literacy activities will not be the same as the Ministry of Education (MEHE). Lebanese boys and girls can have access to formal education if that will be possible and if the security situation of the shelter can allow this.

The partnership aims to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Through supporting the costs of the education services, the potential partner should deliver the below:
   1. Sub-grantee is conducting an assessment for boys and girls less than 18 years old inside the GBV shelters to determine their academic level, reported through quarterly narrative reports and monthly progress reports, and pre and post-tests (To be determined by the selected partner on the frequency of the tests).
   2. The sub-grantee is providing the education services based on the boys’ and girls’ capacity and nationality, reported through quarterly narrative and monthly progress reports, satisfaction surveys, and pre and post-tests (To be determined by the selected partner on the frequency of the surveys and tests).
   3. Sub-grantee is drafting different education curricula based on the boys’ and girls’ academic levels, reported through submitting the final curriculum with the final narrative.
   4. Sub-grantee is covering educational services' costs inside the GBV shelters, reported through financial reports (frequency to be determined).
   5. Sub-grantee is referring children to formal schools if that can be possible based on the shelter’s security and situation and following the judge’s approval, reported through quarterly narrative reports and monthly progress reports and/or referral tracking database (To be determined by the selected partner on the frequency of their database)

Target: 120 Children, boys and girls less than 18 years old, will be targeted during the implementation of the project.
