EDF Contribution to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE)
ACP/FED/038-844

Agreement No. ACP/FED/038-844: EDF Contribution to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) for an amount of €55.0 million was signed on 17th March 2017 and will be implemented over a period of 60 months excluding the closure phase fixed at 24 months.

The total amount of the GPE is €1.3 billion which is co financed by 20 donors including the Intra-ACP EDF.

Implementation mode: Indirect management with an international organisation.

The action will be implemented with the World Bank Group which is the Trustee of the GPE fund, as the GPE does not have a legal entity itself.

Objective

The overall objective of the action is to mobilise global and national efforts to achieve quality education and learning for all, through inclusive partnership, a focus on effective education systems, and financing for basic education.

AS concerns the specific objectives, which relate to the core business of the GPE, being the provision of grants to help developing countries prepare and implement their education plan, the focus will be on the achievement of three high level goals. The first two goals are equity and inclusion, and quality teaching and learning. The third goal is building stronger educational systems with the capacity to deliver equitable, quality educational services.

Expected Results:

  • Stronger Sector Planning and policy implementation;
  • Effective and Inclusive Policy Dialogue;
  • GPE Grants Effectively Support Improved Outcomes in Equity and Learning

The programme is going on

Implementation of the programme is expected to end  in March 2022
