The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Secretariat is pleased to invite you to participate in the next session of the GPE Webinar Series on “Gender and Disability: Findings from the Girls’ Education Challenge” on Thursday February 20, 2020.

The Girls’ Education Challenge (GEC) is the largest global fund dedicated to girls’ education. It was launched by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) in 2012 as part of a 12-year commitment to reach the most marginalized girls in the world. One of its key components is the collection of data for project monitoring and evaluation that also provides wider insights into educational access, learning and inequalities. GEC works in many countries that have made pledges on making education more inclusive for children with disabilities.
