WHO WE ARE

The Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX) is a joint endeavour between GPE and Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC). With a budget of US$164.5 million, GPE KIX is the largest fund dedicated to meeting global knowledge gaps in education. 

Since 2019, partner countries have used evidence and innovation to address their most pertinent education challenges – building more equitable, inclusive, and resilient education systems – through GPE KIX.

Explore our impact.

WHAT WE DO

GPE KIX links countries, researchers, education partners and GPE national processes to enhance evidence-based decision-making within education systems.

GPE KIX builds evidence and facilitates dynamic learning opportunities through communities of practice, learning cycles, webinars, national dialogues, co-created research, and targeted knowledge-sharing activities. These support in-country processes, such as the development of partnership compacts, sector reviews, and financing priorities, are informed by the inter-country learning and evidence mobilized by GPE KIX.

Our approach

Regional hubs support peer learning and knowledge sharing among those working in today’s education systems.

Country support provides national stakeholders with customized research and knowledge for specific policy needs, and strengthens partner countries’ capacity to generate and use evidence.

Applied research generates knowledge and innovation, and scales proven approaches on six focus areas driven by partner country needs.

KIX in a nutshell
