Spain and GPE

Spain is a longstanding partner of GPE, having joined the partnership in 2006.

To date, Spain has contributed US$382 million the GPE fund.

In 2021, Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pledged that Spain would contribute at least €20 million for GPE’s 4^th replenishment, covering the period 2021-2025.

On September 25, 2024, Antón Leis, Director of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) announced at the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York that Spain will contribute €20 million between 2024-2025 to GPE.

This brings Spain’s total contribution for the strategic period 2021-2025 to €25 million, an increase of €5 million beyond Spain's initial pledge at the Global Education Summit in 2021.

€3 million will be allocated to GPE’s Girls’ Education Accelerator and €5 million will be dedicated to GPE’s support for the West Bank and Gaza.

As a sign of Spain’s commitment to GPE, my Prime Minister announced in May this year that Spain is contributing 25 million to this pledging campaign, which represents a 25% increase compared to what we pledged in the previous pledging conference. We also call on all partners to join forces to support education and of course to support the tremendous job that the GPE is carrying out in over 90 countries, impacting over 750 million children because education is the best investment that a country can make in its own future. And as partners, multiplying these children’s possibilities is the best investment we can make in a common thriving future.
