Description: USAID/Liberia Notice of Funding Opportunity to implement The Incentivize Learning Activity This Activity aims at ensuring access to education to vulnerable and underserved school-age children in order to incentivize enrollment, attendance, and learning and addressing food insecurity needs that have become more acute as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the primary purpose of the Activity is to create a foundation for improved learning outcomes by incentivizing school enrollment and reducing absenteeism, particularly for underserved and vulnerable children via the provision of school meals, targeted financial incentives, community and parental engagement, and social and behavior change communication. Through a timely provision of meals, school feeding can reduce short-term hunger among students and improve their ability to concentrate and increase attendance. The Activity complements other investments in education by fostering the right conditions for improved learning outcomes.
