United Arab Emirates and GPE
The United Arab Emirates joined GPE in 2018. At the 3rd replenishment conference in Dakar, the country became the first Arab and Middle Eastern donor to GPE and pledged US$100 million.
At the 4th replenishment conference in London, the country recommitted an additional $100 million in support of GPE’s 2025 strategy.
UAE partners have taken leading roles on key thematic areas in education including: girls’ education; education and climate change; jobs for the future; innovative finance for education.
The UAE's vision remains centered on three key priorities; Every girl in school, young people equipped with future-ready skills, especially across the MENA region and the Global South, and education systems that are resilient to conflict, climate shocks, and disruption. On artificial intelligence, the UAE remains confident this technology can be a force for equity in education, easing the burden on teachers and opening pathways for learners everywhere. We commend GPE as a proven vehicle for collective action, and we're following this replenishment campaign closely as we consider how the UAE can continue to support this vital agenda in the years ahead.
