Description

Introduction
The American India Foundation (AIF) was founded in 2001 at the initiative of President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during the tragic devastation caused by the Gujarat earthquake. The AIF is dedicated to catalyzing social and economic change in India and building a lasting bridge between the United States and India through high-impact interventions in education, livelihoods, public health, and leadership development.
Working closely with local communities, the AIF partners with NGOs to develop and test innovative solutions and with governments to create and scale sustainable impact. In order to meet India’s long- term development challenges, it realized the need to be responsive, open and adaptable to rapidly changing needs on the ground and listen closely to the voices that often go unheard. The programmes emphasize on inclusive models that focus on the unique needs of girls and women to achieve gender equity as a basis for sustainable change.
AIF has impacted the lives of 16.51 million of India’s poor by providing access to high-quality education, formal sector employment for urban youth and rickshaw drivers, and public health services to protect the health of mothers and their children, while building the next generation of global leaders through service. AIF is transforming lives across 36 states and UTs of India while addressing these issues on a regional, country, and international scale.
AIF has 4 flagship programs: Digital Equalizer (DE), Learning and Migration Program (LAMP), Livelihoods and Public Health. This assignment pertains to the Learning and Migration Program of American India Foundation (AIF).
About Learning and Migration Program
American India Foundation’s signature program on education - Learning and Migration Program (LAMP), focuses on rural communities, affected by distress seasonal migration, who are forced to migrate with their families for work due to the unavailability of alternate livelihoods. Distress seasonal migration is a growing phenomenon in almost all arid parts of Gujarat, Odisha, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and tribal parts of Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra,Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. Estimates of seasonal migration vary due to differing definitions. One in every five children in India is a migrant (92.25 million as per Census 2011), as every year over 140 million people are forced to migrate in search of work, often traveling up to 8 months of the year, and mostly, with their children, who find themselves working in factories or other hazardous work sites to help their families. Migrant children are either not in school at all, or undergo disrupted schooling falling drastically behind grade level — contributing to India’s dropout epidemic and are unable to benefit from social entitlements, due to the restricted access to basic needs.
About the Project
The project started in 2023 and will be completed in March 2027. The primary objective of the project is to develop a replicable and scalable model of improving public schools which includes universalising access, supporting pre-primary education, addressing learning deficits of children in elementary and secondary grades, improving school governance by strengthening School Management Committees (SMCs), improving government teachers’ skills to deal with early literacy and numeracy of first generation learners, and these together eventually leading to completion of schooling cycle by all children and improved functioning of schools.
Parallely, intensive interventions will also be conducted at the community level. As a part of the project, a Convergence Group[1]within each village will be formed. The primary responsibility of the Convergence Group will be to ensure that irregular children attend the school regularly and out-of-school children are mainstreamed by explaining the importance of education to parents and children.
The program model has a school component (Hub and feeder schools - students, teachers, principals, SMC members ), Anganwadi for ECEs, a community component (convergence groups, parents, caregivers) and stakeholders (government officials - WCD and Education).
