GPE was launched in 2002, and today is engaged with nearly 60 developing countries, as well as donor governments, international organizations, the private sector, teachers, local and global civil society organizations/NGOs, all devoted to helping children receive a good quality education.

As well as coordinating funding, the GPE supports low-income countries to develop and implement their national education strategies, providing financial support and technical expertise. Since 2003, GPE has helped enroll nearly 22 million more children into school, including 10 million girls, and has supported the construction of over 52,600 classrooms and trained around 300,000 teachers.
