Description:
The activity seeks to support interventions aligned to one or more of the following objectives that meet the high-level key result:
Objective 1: Accredited or industry endorsed skills programs with a green skills focus are developed through strong private sector engagement in Mpumalanga’s coal belt communities, with evidence of strong long-lasting institutional support being built. (Note: For interventions where accreditation is being sought, applicants must be clear about how the accreditation process will work, how far along it is or will be based on realistic timelines. For industry certified programs, applicants must demonstrate previous industry acceptance and/or transferability of the certificate.)
Objective 2: Students and graduates, in their diverse needs and starting points, are provided accredited or industry endorsed technical knowledge and soft skills that are transferable to the workplace and have gained practical work-based learning opportunities required to complete their qualifications because of strong industry partnerships.
Objective 3: Capacity of youth and graduates/course completers to meaningfully participate in the formal economy is increased by unlocking earning opportunities through local/ community/ business partnerships in identified green sector(s) while also ensuring inclusive and just growth for the historically marginalized in that field.

grant Background
About the Funding Agency
The United States Agency for International Development ( USAID) is the federal government agency that leads worldwide development and humanitarian efforts to save lives, lessen poverty, enhance democratic government, and support people to move beyond reliance on aid. The mission is to promote and demonstrate democratic values abroad and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.
USAID has offices around the world, in all the countries where it leads projects and helps the vulnerable population in countries such as Namibia, Laos, Libya, Barbados, Maldives, Palestine/West Bank & Gaza, Germany, Cote d'Ivoire, USA, Paraguay, Ecuador, Nicaragua, USA, Panama, Guinea, Angola, Sierra Leone, Mongolia, USA, Madagascar, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Jamaica, Bolivia, Peru, Zimbabwe, Nepal, and the Philippines.
USAID has hundreds of ongoing projects and funds in the world, the main responsibilities being to promote global health, support global stability, provide humanitarian assistance, catalyze innovation and partnership and empower women and girls. USAID engaged with African nations at an early stage and has since acted in partnership to achieve common interests and ideals from security to global health to climate change to freedom and democracy to shared wealth.
USAID also plays a crucial role in collaborating with Asian nations to ensure that the development decisions they make today help them to achieve long-term success by advancing countries on their paths to consciousness. In Europe and Eurasia, USAID continues to confront massive corruption, political stagnation, severe poverty, and underdeveloped policy and regulatory systems.

Locations
South Africa
South Africa possesses one of the most developed infrastructure systems in Africa, including extensive transport networks, ports, energy assets and financial markets. However, maintenance backlogs, electricity supply constraints and logistics bottlenecks have weighed on growth in recent years. Reform of state-owned enterprises, expansion of renewable energy procurement and increased private participation in infrastructure are central to restoring efficiency, strengthening competitiveness and supporting long-term economic expansion.
