Sweden and GPE

Sweden is one of the earliest supporters of GPE, committing more than $544 million to GPE since 2005.

At the last Replenishment Conference in 2026, Sweden committed SEK 62 million, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening education systems anchored in human rights, gender equality, and climate resilience values.

Sweden’s development agency Sida is a GPE grant agent in Tanzania. Sweden co-represents the Donor 2 constituency of the Board of Directors together with Denmark and Estonia.

“Camilla Nevstad Bruzelius
Sweden values GPE's partnership model which is grounded in country-led processes and supports national education plans and priorities while fostering coordination among partners and promoting effective and efficient action at country level. We also appreciate GPE's continued efforts to strengthen innovative financing for education as well as the synergies between GPE and complementary initiatives.
