Scope
The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and IDRC invite proposals for regional grants from individual organizations or consortia of multiple organizations for national, sub-national, or regional level projects to generate and mobilize knowledge so national education systems in developing country contexts can address shared policy challenges related to improving access, quality, and the performance of their systems.
Projects funded through this call will:
- Scan for and identify relevant approaches and innovations to address shared policy challenges;
- Adapt and test those approaches to assess how to scale positive impacts in GPE-member countries; and
- Mobilize knowledge and build capacity to improve the uptake of approaches in policy and practice.
This call is designed to respond to the demands of GPE member countries for knowledge and innovation. In this call, proposals are invited to address one or more of the following three policy challenges shared among GPE member countries in Latin America and the Caribbean:
1. Rural inequalities;
2. Stronger teams, stronger institutions; and
3. Gender equality and inclusion.
