   Ref Number: BAA-WW-LGL-2015   USAID seeks opportunities to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate in the research, development, piloting, testing, and scaling of innovative, practical and cost-effective interventions to address adolescent girls’ education. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) invites organizations and companies to participate with USAID to create strategic, focused and results-oriented partnerships to promote adolescent girls’ education and apply comprehensive scientific and research-motivated approaches to support sustainable development outcomes.   Around the world 62 million girls are not in school. Millions more are fighting to stay there. As girls reach adolescence, challenges related to remaining in school increase. Her family must be able to afford and be willing to pay school fees. She risks long, dangerous walks to school. She may become pregnant or be forced to marry. And she often lacks access to healthcare and the support she needs to learn. It’s time to Let Girls Learn.   Let Girls Learn is a new whole-of-government initiative to ensure adolescent girls get the education they deserve. Building on USAID’s initial Let Girls Learn funding and education programs, the initiative elevates existing programs, including in areas of conflict and crisis, leverages public-private partnerships, and challenges organizations and governments to commit resources to lift up adolescent girls worldwide.   Let Girls Learn will address a range of issues that prevent adolescent girls from completing their education by ensuring a quality education, reducing barriers to access, including harmful practices and attitudes, and empowering adolescent girls. Interventions to ensure a quality education may focus on providing girls with a quality, relevant education in safe schools, promoting the hiring and training of teachers as well as the use of gender-sensitive materials, and helping girls to acquire education alternatives, workforce training and employment opportunities.
