Are you a very passionate advocate for education? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of children? The Global Partnership for Education Secretariat (GPE) would like to hear from you.


Who We Are
GPE is a shared commitment to end the world's learning crisis.

It is the only global partnership and fund dedicated entirely to helping children in lower-income countries get a quality education, so they can unlock their potential and contribute to building a better world.

We bring together governments, teachers, civil society, donors, United Nations agencies, development banks, businesses and private foundations to transform education systems so that

every girl and boy can have hope, opportunity and agency.


What We Do
GPE helps low
- and lower-middle-income countries to build stronger education systems so that all children can get the education they need to thrive. We currently support nearly 90 countries where


the needs are greatest and focus on reaching the children who are the most vulnerable, including girls, children with disabilities and those affected by extreme poverty or conflict.

Our unique approach works.

Since 2002, 160 million more children in GPE partner countries have set foot in classrooms for the first time, more than half of them girls.

GPE is also the largest provider of education grants in the global COVID-19 response, providing partner countries with vital resources to ensure that learning can safely continue.


How We Work


Now, GPE is working to help governments transform their education systems to get the most vulnerable children in school, improve teaching and learning, and build equitable, inclusive and resilient education systems fit for the 21st century.

Between , GPE will support transformative change in up to 90 countries and territories, which are home to 1 billion children.

Transforming education is about creating lasting changes and achieving impact at scale. GPE sets

out to deliver this transformative change by convening partners, mobilizing funds and catalyzing

reforms to help partner countries accelerate access, learning outcomes and gender equality.


Raise Your Hand


In July 2021, the Global Education Summit put GPE firmly on the path to be fully-funded by 2025, by raising a record US $4 billion from donors for GPE's Raise Your Hand campaign.

At the Summit, Heads of State and Government from partner countries made historic commitments to education financing and GPE also mobilized an unprecedented number of pledges from businesses, private foundations and development banks.


A fully funded GPE would support transformed education systems in up to 90 countries and territories, enable up to 175 million children to learn and help get 88 million more girls and boys in school by 2025.

In the longer term, this investment could add $164 billion to economies in GPE partner countries, lift 18 million people out of poverty, and protect 2 million girls from early marriage.


Governance And Organizational Arrangements
The GPE Board of Directors includes ministerial-level board members and alternates representing 20 constituencies that reflect the Partnership's breadth. The Board Chair is HE President Jakaya Kikwete and the Board Vice Chair is Dr Susan Liautaud.

The Board of Directors, with its three standing committees, provides policy and strategic oversight and approves or delegates funding decisions.


The GPE Secretariat, with 160 employees and hosted by the World Bank, is responsible for translating the policies and strategies set by the Board into practical support for partner countries, coordinating with diverse stakeholders and galvanizing global support for SDG4.

The Secretariat's headquarters are in the World Bank's offices in Washington, D.C. and the European office is in Paris with a satellite office in Brussels.


ABOUT THE TEAM


The mission of the Governance Team is to have a well-informed, participatory, functioning Board and Committees making good and timely decisions to facilitate the organization's delivery on its goals and objectives within a professional managed structure.

The team manages the processes, policies, rules and procedures within which the Board, Committees, and Secretariat operate, and ensures clear definition of roles, responsibilities and accountabilities among the many stakeholders involved in policy making that defines the scope for and the way GPE operates.
