About

UNESCO invites eligible not-for-profit institutions to submit proposals aimed at strengthening inclusive school management committees and fostering safe, resilient learning environments across targeted areas of Myanmar. The primary goal of this program is to establish and enhance School Management Committees (SMCs), conduct school-level risk assessments, develop safety and resilience action plans, deliver targeted capacity-building and mentoring, and embed sustainable management practices. Eligible activities encompass direct project costs such as personnel, training, mentoring, travel, materials, monitoring, and school-level implementation. Administrative overheads and service fees are not permitted under this funding, and applicants are required to incorporate their own financial or in-kind contribution into the proposal. Participating learning spaces may receive micro-grants of USD 750, contingent upon an approved action plan, fund availability, and formal UNESCO approval.

Eligibility

Applicants must be legally constituted not-for-profit institutions with the operational capacity to implement education-related activities within the targeted regions of Myanmar. Organizations must provide demonstrable proof of relevant field experience, reliable operational access, sound administrative and financial management systems, qualified personnel, and specialized expertise in school governance, community participation, safeguarding, disaster risk reduction, and educational resilience. Consortium applications are permitted provided that a single eligible not-for-profit organization acts as the designated lead applicant. Proposals will be evaluated based on the organization's demonstrated implementation capacity, technical expertise in educational governance, and the feasibility and sustainability of the proposed action plans.
