Ethical Schools

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications from Peruvian local organizations (nongovernmental) for funding to support a program entitled Ethical Schools. The overall objective of the Project is to promote a culture of ethical behavior and civic responsibility among youth, teachers and parents, and to explore the way in which this may contribute to a reduction in corruption and other forms of illicit activity like coca cultivation and illegal environmental degradation. This Project should work with the GOP to assist teachers (new and in-service) to equip youth in Lima, San Martin, and Ucayali with ethical decision-making skills based on reasoning and critical thinking. The Project should involve parents and regional and local authorities to secure their support for and ownership of the Project.
