Competitive calls for projects from the Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX)

28 July 2020

The Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX), a joint endeavour between IDRC and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), is an exciting new way to support low- and middle-income countries to build stronger education systems, thereby accelerating progress towards achieving SDG 4.

This week, KIX has launched the first of four competitive calls for projects from across four regions. The overall goal of the calls is to generate and mobilize knowledge so national education systems in developing country contexts can address shared policy challenges related to improving access, quality and the performance of their systems.

Each call is designed to respond to the demands of the GPE member countries for knowledge and innovation. To identify these demands, the KIX Regional Hubs led a process from March – July 2020 across GPE member countries to identify shared policy challenges for public education systems. The process involved consultation with government and non-governmental education stakeholders from the countries, regional experts, as well as a review of education sector plans and regional education analyses. Aligning calls for proposals with key priorities that emerged, KIX intends for the projects it funds to be directly relevant and useful to these education systems. This page will be updated with links to each call once they launch. See below to find out which calls are currently open.
