Education Cannot Wait (ECW) & Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Complementarity Note

The Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Complementarity Note outlines the rationale for having two global funds for education – one that focuses on emergencies and protracted crises, and another that focuses on longer-term education systems strengthening. The Note explains how ECW and GPE are working together at all levels in complementary ways to support the education of children and adolescents across the development and emergency spectrum. It emphasises how the two funds’ respective added values complement each other, helping to meet the scope of needs in fragile and conflict-affected contexts/protracted crises.
