Global Partnership for Education (GPE) - Program Contribution

The Global Partnership for Education Fund (GPE) Fund is a multilateral financing mechanism supporting the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).

This partnership is a global partnership of developing and donor countries and agencies, civil society organizations, private foundations and the private sector. GPE focuses on accelerating progress towards the 'Education for All' goals.

GPE's areas of focus are: 1) increasing equitable access to education in the primary grades, 2) creating improvements in learning outcomes, especially with regard to literacy and numeracy; 3) making education accessible in fragile and conflict-affected environments; 4) focusing on marginalized children while building sustainable, quality education systems.

These priorities complement USAID's Education Strategy.

USAID's contribution to the GPE Fund will advance USAID's goals set forth in E3/Education's 'Education Strategy' and will provide substantial leverage of USIAD's current resources. Note that the actual Prime Partner is Global Partnership for Education.
