The number of crises around the world has increased dramatically over the past decade, placing a major strain on education systems. This has brought incalculable consequences for children who miss out on school.

More resources are needed to better support countries to meet the most urgent education needs while building resilient and equitable education systems for the future. By leveraging each fund’s added value, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and Global Partnership for Education (GPE)’s strengthened collaboration maximizes funding for education and helps to better meet the full scope of needs.
