The GPE 2020 strategy’s country model locks together sector planning and implementation, government-led dialogue and monitoring, and education financing, to enable partner countries to achieve their goals in learning and equity.
GPE has put in place a robust monitoring and evaluation program to measure progress on GPE 2020, reflect on the support provided, and learn from results achieved to date, to ensure that meaningful and equitable changes happen at the country level.
GPE has committed to achieving the strategies, goals and objectives outlined in GPE 2020, its strategic plan for 2016-2020.
GPE’s theory of change summarizes how the partnership intends to achieve its vision: "Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning".
GPE's monitoring and evaluation takes place within the framework of GPE 2020 and is based on its Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy. The purpose of this strategy is to generate data and evidence that help the partnership learn, improve what it does, and be accountable to its constituents.
The GPE Secretariat’s work in monitoring is organized around a results framework aligned to the theory of change and comprising 37 indicators. The GPE Secretariat monitors these indicators and reports on them publicly in its annual Results Report. The Results Report discusses GPE achievements and areas for improvement and provides information on GPE’s work with respect to learning, equity, and inclusion.
GPE's evaluation program consists of three strands of work:
Global evaluations preceding the GPE 2020 M&E Strategy include the independent interim evaluation of GPE 2010-2014 and the mid-term evaluation of the EFA Fast Track Initiative. Evaluations of specific country grant programs can be found in the corresponding partner country pages.
