The GCE launches a set of Tools to support members' advocacy efforts on education financing

As world leaders converge on the UN this week to agree the Global Goals for Sustainable Development, it is crucial for education campaigners to remind their heads of state that the goals must be paid for – and, to date, and no serious commitment towards financing SDG 4 on Quality Education has been made at any global forum.

In advance of the summit, GCE is launching a number of tools to support its members to lobby for increased donor and domestic funding for education. This set of tools will be followed by a briefing on key activities and social media for the UN Sustainable Development Summit. These tools include the following:

Education Aid Watch 2015

his report, compiled by GCE and its members in donor countries, documents a failure to provide the pledged donor support for the Education For All and Millennium Development Goals. Education Aid Watch 2015 shows that while a few donors have stepped up to provide significant and good quality aid, others have neglected their pledge, leading to an overall picture of wholly inadequate support for the goals that the whole world agreed 15 years ago.

Education financing briefing for members

GCE has prepared a briefing for members outlining the serious issues around education financing that must be addressed in order to achieve SDG 4 and the commitments made in the Education 2030 Framework for Action, and which also details GCE’s position on developments such as the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) and the new International Commission on Financing Global Education.
