Aga Khan Foundation Call for Proposals for Increasing out of school learning Innovations Jobs in Uganda

Aga Khan Foundation

The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) is an agency of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a group of private, non-denominational development agencies that share a mission to improve the living conditions and opportunities of marginalized communities in target countries across Africa and Asia.

AKF was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in Switzerland in 1967 and began working in East Africa in 1974.

In Uganda, AKF operates a multi-sectoral portfolio that includes programming in Education, Economic Inclusion, Civil Society, Health, and Early Childhood Development predominantly in the Central and West Nile Regions.

AKF is committed to ensuring that girls and boys, women and men, are equipped with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values to help them interact effectively with the world and be contributing members of a pluralistic society.

Background

AKF in partnership with World university Services Canada (WUSC), has been delivering the Adolescent Girls’ Education in Crisis Initiative, a four-year project focused on enabling adolescent girls and young women in Moyo and Obongi to pursue diverse educational and learning pathways.

Critical to achieving this is the need to reduce socio-cultural barriers that inhibit of prohibit AGFY from accessing gender equitable, quality education (including SGBV and Gender Equity issues).

To contribute to this, AGENCI adapts both formal and non-formal education interventions. In relation to this call, AGENCI intends to collaborate with explicit digital innovators with opportunities for AGFY and communities to deliver solutions that increase participation of AGFY in non-formal education.

Therefore AKF is seeking partners that have existing, evidence-based innovations and/or solutions to support out of school learning for adolescent girls and boys that can be tested and assessed for relevance in Moyo and Obongi.

It is expected for AKF to work with identified partners to test the solution in approximately five community sites, gather data and evidence of change, and, if successful, develop a proposal for broader implementation across Moyo and Obongi.

Scope of Work

Partners will be Expected to:

Co-design the testing phase of

the evidence-based innovation and/or solution identifying communities and finalising timelines

Lead the delivery of the innovation and/or solution in the agreed number of sites in Moyo and Obongi including AKF, WUSC, and Windle teams as agreed during the co-design phase

Leverage existing M&E frameworks, tools, and structures to develop the evidence needed to determine the relevance and impact of the innovation and/or solution through the test

Finalize a report clearly articulating what worked well, gaps, overall impact, and any required potential adaptations needed to increase impact, sustainability, and scale.

If evidence demonstrates impact, co-design a strategy to increase scale of work in Moyo and Obongi
