## What the grant funds

To All interested Parties: The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development in Morocco (USAID/Morocco), is in the process of determining how a potential program provisionally entitled “Bridge to Middle School” might further its stated strategic goals of improving the efficacy and efficiency of the Moroccan education system. The main purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine the soundness and robustness of the general design for a systems strengthening and capacity building intervention for the Ministry of Education in Morocco.

Areas of particular interest to USAID/Morocco under this RFI include: 1) reactions from USAID partners and the public to the draft, potential, proposed theory of change; 2) information about documented strengths and weaknesses of the Moroccan upper primary and middle school education system in the public schools, and; 3) any other information experienced members of the public believe would be important for USAID to take into account in its continued program development efforts for systems strengthening in the Moroccan education system. Attachment 2 includes guiding questions, not all of which need to be answered in respondents' feedback. Incorporation of any feedback is subject to internal USAID discussions and approval. Respondents will not be invited to elaborate upon them after submission.
