It’s been a big year for education!

The UN marked the first year anniversary of the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including goal 4 on “inclusive and equitable quality education for all”.

The International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity launched its report and agenda for action to create a “learning generation”.

And at GPE, we have also made some great progress:

• We adopted a new strategic plan, GPE 2020, that embraces the full vision of the sustainable development agenda
• We welcomed four new partner countries: Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
• We strengthened our model with a new results framework, a new gender equality policy and strategy, and a new monitoring and evaluation strategy.
• We published policy briefs and technical guidelines
• We received additional financial support from France, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the U.S.A.
• We reached US$4.6 billion allocated in grants to partner countries.
• We supported countries in crisis, like Haiti after hurricane Matthew and Chad, with the influx of refuges and internally displaced populations in the Lake Chad region.
• And finally, we joined forces with our new global ambassador: Rihanna
