Grant Description: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for an Assistance Agreement for funding to support a program entitled "Literacy, Language and Learning" - Early Literacy and Numeracy Initiative in Rwanda. The main objective of this program is to strengthen teaching and learning in Rwanda so that children leave primary school with strong literacy and numeracy skills. These skills, aided by improvements in active teaching methods that the program will support, will give Rwandan children the foundation and tools for developing the analytical, critical thinking, and communication skills needed to participate fully in the knowledge-based economy that is the centerpiece of Rwanda's Vision 2020.
