Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA20APS00015
Juntos Aprendemos: Delivering Quality Education in Migrant Receptor Communities in Colombia is a USAID/Colombia grant opportunity released under the New Partnerships Initiative (NPI) and tied to USAID/Colombia's Venezuelan Response and Integration work. It invites organizations to submit concept notes proposing activities that strengthen Colombia's education system in places receiving large numbers of Venezuelan migrants and Colombian returnees. The underlying goal is to support the Government of Colombia's objective of ensuring sustainable, inclusive, quality education for all school-aged children, with an emphasis on keeping the system functioning and adapting effectively when unexpected "shocks" disrupt normal service delivery. In practice, the opportunity centers on helping schools and local education authorities in high-impact municipalities build the capacity, processes, and expertise needed to absorb new students, maintain learning quality, and respond to rapid changes in demand and operating conditions.
The opportunity is structured as an APS-style grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA20APS00015) under CFDA 98.001, categorized in the education sector, and issued pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. Rather than requesting full proposals upfront, USAID asked for concept notes by the original closing date of May 11, 2020 (the notice was created April 21, 2020). USAID anticipated making around two awards, though the award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which typically signals that the ceiling was not specified in the public summary or may have been defined elsewhere in the full solicitation or amendment materials. The instrument type is a grant, indicating support for programmatic activities delivered by non-federal partners rather than procurement of goods and services.
Programmatically, the emphasis is on strengthening school systems in receptor communities, meaning municipalities and areas where migration-driven enrollment pressures are most intense. That can include interventions that improve planning, management, coordination, and technical capability across local education ecosystems so that schools can integrate new learners, address barriers to access, and maintain education quality. The mention of "shocks" signals an interest in resilience: helping education actors prepare for and respond to sudden disruptions such as rapid enrollment surges, resource shortages, administrative constraints, or other external events that can destabilize service delivery. In addition to improving education outcomes, the opportunity also explicitly aims to diversify and broaden USAID's partner base, consistent with NPI's intent to bring in new, local, and non-traditional organizations that may not have been typical USAID implementers.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the solicitation pointing applicants to an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section for specifics. That wording usually indicates USAID was open to a wide range of applicants depending on the detailed eligibility language in the full APS, potentially including local organizations, NGOs, community-based entities, academic institutions, or other capable groups, especially those able to operate in migrant-receiving municipalities and collaborate with local and national education stakeholders. Overall, the grant opportunity targets practical system-strengthening approaches that help Colombia's education sector remain inclusive and effective in the face of migration-driven demand and volatility, while also expanding the set of partners involved in delivering USAID-supported education programming.Apply for 7200AA20APS00015
