Donors are a central part of the partnership and contribute financial and technical resources to advance quality education for all children through GPE mechanisms.
They fuel education system transformation and help GPE partner countries build stronger and equitable education systems fit for the 21st century.
Donors contribute funding to education on a bilateral basis through their country-level programs and through the GPE Fund, and in some cases are GPE grant agents.
Donors weigh in on GPE strategies, policies and grant decisions through representation in GPE governance structures. There are six donor constituencies on the GPE Board and donors are involved in each of Board’s executive and technical committees.
The channel between donor agencies at headquarters level and country level is important to maintain, ensuring effective links and feedback loops for communication and learning around the implementation of these strategies and policies.
Donors also play a strategic role as technical and thematic partners to GPE, co-financing or supporting initiatives and coalitions in areas like teaching and learning, early childhood care and education, gender equality, climate smart education, and sector planning and monitoring, among others.
