GPE KIX Furthering Impact Fund
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 share an open opportunity of funding for furthering the impact of closed research projects previously funded by GPE KIX.
In its first phase, GPE KIX funded 41 applied research projects across 53 countries. While many of those projects have closed, there are ongoing opportunities to share the evidence they generated for uptake. The GPE KIX Furthering Impact Fund was established to build on the applied research project achievements of the first phase of GPE KIX and to support previous GPE KIX grantees in developing and implementing key activities to mobilise knowledge and to increase the uptake of the evidence generated during their project in education policy and practice, and to further the impact of project results.
Funding for these activities will be granted to previous KIX grantees who demonstrate that there is clear demand from education system stakeholders to use the evidence generated by their now-closed GPE KIX project and that the proposed activities will contribute meaningfully to strengthening education policy and practice. Applicants are encouraged to consider co-creating activities with key education stakeholders to increase the likelihood of uptake and sustainability. They are also encouraged to draw on the connections and insights into country-level evidence needs of the GPE KIX Regional Hubs where possible.
Budget
A maximum of CAD 50,000 will be granted for successful applications.
Eligibility
This fund is available to any former GPE KIX grantees, including lead grantees, consortium members, who can effectively demonstrate both the demand for and the likely outcomes of their proposed activities.
Please note that the EMAP Hub is not involved in the selection process for this grant. Any questions should be directed to kixcalls@idrc.ca.
