The FIFA Foundation is financing an educational initiative called the “Digital Education Programme” (DEP) which provides technological tools alongside learning, training, and mentoring resources to primary schools in vulnerable communities. The programme aims to enable students to acquire knowledge and develop skills in digital literacy, programming, and educational robotics, while promoting social inclusion and educational innovation through activities that combine education, technology, and football.
Mauritania is one of the countries selected by the FIFA Foundation for the implementation of this programme, in coordination with the Ministry of National Education and Educational System Reform (MERSE) and the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (FFRIM). Over a three-year implementation period, the programme aims to reach 12 primary schools in Nouakchott and is expected to benefit more than 10,000 students. The initiative will support the integration of technology- and robotics-based projects alongside the national curriculum, as part of the regular school day.
Each Request for Proposals (RFP) sets out the FIFA Foundation's requirements for Service Providers to support the delivery of the Digital Education Programme across two categories of service:
Pedagogical Implementation Provider:
Responsible for the local pedagogical implementation of the programme, including the delivery of teacher training and mentoring, and engagement with teaching staff and families.
Educational Robotics Kits Supplier:
Responsible for the provision of the educational robotics equipment required for the programme.
