HUB overview
A key component of KIX is a knowledge sharing and exchange function, where country representatives come together to share information, innovation, and best practices related to education policy and programming and to inform knowledge gaps and policy priorities. Four regional hubs act as knowledge brokering units for KIX. This page provides information on the hub that primarily oversees activities in Latin America and the Caribbean.
About the Hub
The Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX) Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) hub facilitates cross-country knowledge exchange and mobilization, learning, synthesis, and collaboration among national education stakeholders in eight Global Partnership for Education partner countries. The hub functions as a regional forum within KIX.
Approach
The ten LAC countries represented by this hub face significant challenges across their education sectors. These will be addressed through a systemic approach that includes:
- Setting a regional agenda on knowledge gaps for scalable policy and practice options for priorities at sub-regional, national, and local levels.
- Identifying evidence oriented to innovative and scalable policy solutions and mobilizing and socializing it through knowledge synthesis, seminars, workshops, and virtual colloquiums with the participation of experts and education stakeholders.
- Building regional and local capacity and networking spaces among key stakeholders by creating a regional network of national representatives convening on a regular basis and a program of internships and exchange programs for ministry of education professionals.
About the region
Latin America has a diversified, active, and well consolidated research community on education topics. The KIX LAC hub will tap into this strong regional capacity and relevant contextual evidence. There is significant heterogeneity in terms of language, population, and economic situations across the ten LAC hub countries.
