The purpose of this notice is to announce the release o/a end of June 2008 of an Request for Proposal (RFP) for a three (03) year contract to procure services to design and implement a school-based program to support at least 40,000 HIV/AIDS affected or infected OVC at 400 primary schools in Addis Ababa, Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Harari,, Oromia, SNNPR, Somali and Tigray regions of Ethiopia. The total estimated amount available for this award is US $ 8 millions.



This three year contract will focus on strengthening the communities’ abilities to participate in the design and management of OVC support programs using the school as a conduit to empower and organize community members. Support to OVC through schools will build upon the existing primary school organizational management system, mainly the Parent Teacher Associations (PTA). Schools will be the focal point for these linkages and all development efforts targeting children and the general community.



In addition to working with PTAs, the Contractor will support the government’s decentralization efforts by building the capacity of Kebele Education and Training Boards (KETBs), Woreda Education, Health , legal and other Offices , and Girls Education Advisory Committees (GEAC) in schools.
