Call for Proposals: GPE KIX regional observatories on education system resilience

The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX), a joint endeavour with Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity through its latest call for proposals.

GPE KIX regional observatories on education system resilience

This call is seeking proposals from individual organizations, or consortia of multiple organizations, to become implementing partners in the new GPE KIX Observatory on Education System Resilience initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to contribute to the improvement of education system resilience of GPE partner countries through research and evidence. The task of implementing partners will be to establish regional observatories, conduct applied research and mobilize its findings. The call expects to fund six regional observatories: one in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), one in East, West, Central and Southern Africa, and four in Europe, Middle East and North Africa, Asia and the Pacific (EMAP).

• Examination of existing practices related to education system resilience in GPE partner countries.
• Anticipation of future disruptions to education systems in GPE partner countries.

KIX will allocate CAD4 million for the entire initiative through this call and each individual project will be 28 months in duration. Full details and eligibility criteria are outlined in the call document.
