Early Grant Information for NGOs
NPI seeks to support the partner countries’ achievement of sustainable and resilient results, and catalyze more effective partnering for impact.
Closing learning deficits in El Salvador through improved formal education and high school completion (traditional, flexible modalities, and/or general equivalency diploma) is critical to meeting private sector eligibility criteria for employing vulnerable population, which in turn will reduce the drivers of irregular migration by increasing employability of these vulnerable populations.

Programmatic Focus: USAID/El Salvador anticipates that ultimately the Basic Education Quality Advancement activity will contribute to USAID’s Mission and objectives through successful achievement of one or more of the following outcomes and focal areas as leverage points in higher education programming:
Increase Capability, Contributions, and Quality of Individuals: Individuals, whether faculty, researchers, staff, students, recent graduates, or others, play important roles in locally led development. Individuals that are within the local system are best placed to elevate solutions that can lead to sustained development gains.
Enhance Sustainable and Self-Reliant Institutions of Higher Education: Strategically, as identified in the HELIX APS, outcomes will be best achieved within a country context by building local ownership and fostering partnerships across organizations and sectors, in particular higher education institutions. USAID/El Salvador strongly encourages Basic Education Quality Advancement recipients to partner with both local, regional, U.S. higher education institutions, non-HEI partners and leverage external resources to promote sustainable, long-term development impacts.
Strengthen Higher Education Systems to Ensure Long-lasting Impact: Higher Education systems achieve sustainable outcomes through partnerships and leveraging of resources. Outcomes under the Basic Education Quality Advancement Activity will be best achieved by building local ownership, identifying common interests, and fostering partnerships and collaboration. It is equally important to have an enabling environment (including, but not limited to policy, private sector, innovation environment, etc.) primed for integrating promising findings and solutions into the appropriate channels for successful uptake and sustainability.
Advance the Higher Education Evidence Base for Learning: It is anticipated that the Basic Education Quality Advancement Activity will contribute towards larger learning and building the evidence base concerning the role of higher education systems in achieving development objectives and the role of higher education as a central actor in development, regardless of sector in support of the Agency-wide Higher Education Learning Agenda, as well as specific learning priorities identified in Addendum
Geographic Focus: The activity should be active in at least one of the three urban hubs in El Salvador: San Salvador, San Miguel, and/or Santa Ana.
