The purpose of the Contributions and Safeguards Policy is to govern the circumstances under which any financial contributions will be permitted to the Global Partnership for Education Fund in order to maximize the opportunities for raising additional resources in an increasingly differentiated financing environment for education.

The policy reinforces the goals and ambition of the partnership’s strategic plan, GPE 2020. Within this context the policy also seeks to minimize the risks of mission and partnership distortion, financing substitution, and disproportionate administration and transaction costs. The policy allows for the full and effective financing of GPE’s Financing and Funding Framework as approved by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2017 and amended from time to time.
