Education Finance Playbook
This report highlights that millions of children risk being left behind unless world leaders, philanthropies and companies take bold action.
Partnership hub
The Partnership Hub aims to transform business engagement in global education policy, innovative finance, and social impact. The hub is a platform for collaboration, convening roundtables and providing a seat at the table alongside governments, development banks, and international organizations on major decision-making bodies.
Businesses need education
Businesses need educated workforces and thrive in stable operating environments with strong, quality education systems. Supporting education in countries and communities where they operate benefits employees and their families, stimulates economic growth, supports positive government relations and promotes community engagement.
Scale your network and impact
Despite these strong motivations, many companies lack the in-house expertise, networks or financial expertise to create impactful public-private partnerships. The Partnership Hub brings together partners across geographies and sectors to shape policies, build programs, and develop financial models that impact education for children and youth.
GBC-Education represents the business community on high-level governing and funding bodies and convenes roundtables to build stronger public-private partnerships. Through our networks, the Partnership Hub enables the business community to:
-
Participate in the governance and decision-making of education-focused organizations and global funds, including the Global Partnership for Education, the Education Cannot Wait fund, Generation Unlimited and the UNESCO High-Level Steering Committee for Sustainable Development Goal 4
-
Develop innovative financing partnerships and work closely with new funding models, including the International Finance Facility for Education
-
