Increasing equity, gender equality and inclusion for all is one of GPE’s three goals in GPE 2020, GPE’s strategic plan for 2016-2020, and critical to achieving the vision of SDG 4 for education.

GPE’s Gender Equality Policy and Strategy 2016–2020 provides guidance throughout the period of GPE 2020 and supports governments in developing gender-responsive education sector plans.

To break down the barriers to gender equality, GPE:

• builds the evidence base
• monitors and analyzes results
• funds gender-responsive strategies for girls' education
• invests in global public goods through KIX.
