Strategic Overview
The GPE Multiplier Grant incentivizes domestic and external financing for education system strengthening. This grant targets capacity building for Ministry of Education staff and local NGOs in data management, financial accountability, and monitoring to improve learning outcomes. The focus is on fragile and conflict-affected states.
Who is it For?
Governments of eligible low- and middle-income countries (list on GPE website) and their appointed grant agents (e.g., World Bank, UNICEF). Sub-grants to local CSOs are encouraged.
Priorities
Data-driven education planning, teacher professional development, inclusive education (girls, children with disabilities), and efficiency in education spending. Alignment with national education sector plan.
Eligibility
Countries must have a credible education sector plan endorsed by GPE and a funding agreement with a grant agent. CSOs must partner with the grant agent. Previous GPE grant experience preferred.
Path to Success
Phase 1: Conduct a training needs assessment for education officials using diagnostic tools from 'Data Analysis for Project Management'. Phase 2: Deliver financial management training via 'Financial Management for NGOs' to improve budget execution and accountability. Phase 3: Strengthen M&E systems with 'Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning' to track learning outcomes and inform policy. Phase 4: Support proposal writing for sub-grants with 'Writing Winning Proposals' to enable local CSOs to access funds. GSLI's courses fill critical capacity gaps that GPE prioritizes, giving our partner grant agents a competitive edge.
