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.

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 collaboration: Through four regional hubs, GPE KIX connects education stakeholders to strengthen their skills to use evidence in policy, share experiences and knowledge, access evidence, and explore promising approaches. Hubs also provide tailored country-level support to address priority evidence or capacity needs.
  • Applied research: GPE partner countries identify priorities for KIX applied research that generates locally relevant evidence and builds the skills needed to adapt and builds the skills needed to adapt and scale tested educational innovations.
