Financial reporting

Notes:

• During FY20, the GPE Secretariat implemented a different reporting methodology to further track monthly disbursements made from the GPE Trust Fund and quarterly utilization by programs. Disbursements thus refer to financial transfers made from the GPE Trust Fund to grant agents, while quarterly utilization refers to transfers to and actual expenditure by programs.
• The latest available World Bank income categorization list is used and applied to all grants. Note however that the income category is not applicable to global grants.
• Grant allocation for closed grants includes refunds and cancellations even if the refund occurred in a subsequent year.
• The FCAC categorization looks at the grant approval year and pulls the FCAC data (which is created by merging the World Bank fragility list with the UNESCO conflict-affected list) for that same year (the exceptions are grants approved in 2015 and earlier, which use the 2016 FCAC data).
• The term "implementation grant" refers to: regular education sector program implementation grant (ESPIG), combined ESPIG and Multiplier grants, Multiplier, regular accelerated funding, and additional financing.
• Negative utilization amounts (for example refunds) are excluded from the utilization sums.

• When clicking a region and seeing the related data, the column "Number of grants FCAC” refers to the number of approvals in each region (not to the number of partner countries) that are affected by fragility or conflict (FCAC).
• The FCAC categorization looks at the grant approval year and pulls the FCAC data (which is created by merging the World Bank fragility list with the UNESCO conflict affected list) for that same year (the exceptions are grants approved in 2015 and earlier, which use the 2016 FCAC data).
• Each approved grant is counted separately (including when the grant is accelerated funding). The exception is that additional financing is excluded from grant counts. In addition, if a grant has two grant agents, it is counted as one grant except when looking at grant count by grant agent.
• "Closed grants" refers to all the grants that have closed since inception.
