Teacher Education and Professional Development Program: The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development, (USAID) intends to enter into a cooperative agreement for the implementation of the Teacher Education and Professional Development Program, as more specifically described in Section I, entitled Program Description. To this end, USAID is seeking applications from qualified U.S. and non-U.S. organizations and institutions, Kenyan organizations, partnerships or consortia that are interested in providing the services described in this solicitation. This is full and open competition, under which any type of organizations, large or small commercial (for profit) firms, faith-based, and non-profit organizations in partnerships or consortia, from geographic code 935, are eligible to compete. In accordance with the Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreement Act, USAID encourages competition in order to identify and fund the best possible applications to achieve program objectives. USAID plans to award one, three-year ($2,000,000) cooperative agreement. Since the award will be a cooperative agreement based on the successful application, this RFA does not specify a level-of-effort (LOE). The applicant is to propose the LOE and staffing according to the applicants approach for achieving USAIDs strategy and objectives specified in the RFA. Pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, it is USAID policy not to award profit under assistance instruments. However, all reasonable, allocable, and allowable expenses, both direct and indirect, which are related to the grant program and are in accordance with applicable cost standards (22 CFR 226, OMB Circular A-122 for non-profit organization, OMB Circular A-21 for universities, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for-profit organizations), may be paid under the grant. For the purposes of this RFA, the term "Grant" is synonymous with "Cooperative Agreement"; "Grantee" is synonymous with "Recipient"; and "Grant Officer" is synonymous with "Agreement Officer". This solicitation includes a requirement for a 10-15% cost share. This cost share is required to help ensure cost-effective programming and sustainability of the program and local partners and their capacity to seek follow-on resources. The cost share was determined as not to discourage Kenyan or smaller international organizations submitting an application. If your organization decides to submit an application to be considered for award, it must be received by the closing date and time indicated at the top of this cover letter at the place designated below for receipt of applications. Applications and modifications thereof shall be submitted in envelopes with the name and address of the applicant and RFA # (referenced above).
