Projects funded through this global call must be multi-regional, involving at least three GPE member countries in at least two regions.
Projects must respond to the following question:
How can existing evidence-based and contextually relevant innovations that have a demonstrated impact be adapted and scaled to improve education access and quality within GPE member countries?
