WASHINGTON D.C. , December 9, 2022 – The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) welcomed Angola as its latest member today.

“By joining GPE, Angola is taking an ambitious step towards providing quality schooling to all children - the most effective investment a country can make," said Laura Frigenti, Chief Executive Officer of GPE. “We look forward to working closely with the Angolan government and local partners to deliver transformative change to the education system."

"Becoming a member of the Global Partnership for Education represents the strong engagement of the Angolan government in mobilizing international resources to complement national efforts to promote quality, equitable and inclusive education for all, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal number 4," said Luísa Maria Alves Grilo, Minister of Education of Angola. "Angola is honored to benefit from the Global Partnership for Education funds and ensure that more children have access to education, as well as improve learning outcomes and gender equality, as stated in its National Development Program."

GPE support available to Angola includes the GPE Multiplier, system capacity grant and Girls’ Education Accelerator (up to US$50 million, US$3.7 million and US$25 million, respectively). The funding will help expand girls’ access to education, strengthen the education system through better data, and improve the alignment of support to the education sector.
