This report summarizes insights deriving from the second phase of the Evaluation of GPE Support to Sector Planning to explore the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of GPE modalities of support to sector planning, especially through the ESPDG funding mechanism. The evaluation covers the period 2012–2019.

The evaluation is formative in nature in that it aims to assist GPE in taking stock of achievements made to date and – if and as required – further improving its approach to supporting country-level education sector planning processes.
