School Capacity and Innovation Program (SCIP)
Implementer: TBD
Duration: TBD
Funding to Date: TBD
The overall purpose of the School Capacity & Innovation Program (SCIP) is to build teacher effectiveness and strengthening classroom and school management, as measured by improvements in primary grade reading. SCIP supports local South African models or interventions that work directly with teachers and school management teams in innovative ways in order to improve their practice as instructional leaders and managers. SCIP is aligned to the USAID Education Strategy (2011–2015) which supports interventions to improve learning outcomes with a focus on primary grade reading as a measure of performance. Selected models seek to expand and have a vision for cost-effective, broad scale-up at the district, provincial or national level. In addition to seeking initiatives that demonstrate innovation, impact and a vision for growth, SCIP encourages entities that demonstrate partnerships with like-minded organizations and/or school districts and provincial departments of education. SCIP is co-funded by ELMA Philanthropies.
