DFID 8010 Sindh Education Non-State Actors programme (SENSA) - Technical Assistance and Management Organisation - Call Down Contract

1. The Sindh Education Non-State Actors (SENSA) programme will fund a full cycle of primary education for up to 51,145 (54% girls, 46% boys) of the poorest children in Sindh province. The Education Fund for Sindh (EFS), a pilot programme which DFID Pakistan supported since February 2012, came to an end on 31 March 2016. EFS funded four national and international non-government organisations ((I)NGOs) as alternative non-state providers of education services, known as 'intermediaries'. Of all the strands of the EFS programme (the voucher system, the intermediary programme and the public private partnership strand) the 'intermediary' strand was the most successful in terms of both delivery and in mitigating risk.
