Factsheet: Breaking down barriers to gender equality and girls’ education

Increasing equity, gender equality and inclusion for all is one of GPE’s three goals in GPE 2020, GPE’s strategic plan for 2016-2020, and critical to achieving the vision of SDG 4 for education.

GPE’s Gender Equality Policy and Strategy 2016–2020 provides guidance throughout the period of GPE 2020 and supports governments in developing gender-responsive education sector plans.

To break down the barriers to gender equality, GPE:

• builds the evidence base
• monitors and analyzes results
• funds gender-responsive strategies for girls’ education
• invests in global public goods through KIX.
