Background
The Education Out Loud (EOL) Programme was approved for implementation by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) in 2019. GPE’s aim is to strengthen public national education systems to deliver stronger outcomes in the areas of learning, equity, gender equality, and inclusion. GPE is the largest fund for education in the world and provides around $800million a year for education in lower-income countries.
The goal of Education Out Loud is to enhance civil society capacity to further GPE’s strategic objectives in learning, equity, and in strengthening education systems by improving civil society participation, advocacy, and efforts to ensure transparency and increased effectiveness in national educational policy and implementation processes. As such, it aims to support both the traditional education networks and civil society partners working in areas such as tax justice, citizens´ engagement in fiscal transparency and community mobilisation.

The EOL fund is comprised of three funding streams (Operational Components) to support work at local, national and transnational levels to (1) strengthen national civil society engagement in education planning, policy dialogue and monitoring; (2) strengthen civil society roles in promoting the transparency and accountability of national education sector policy and implementation; and to (3) create a stronger global and transnational enabling environment for national civil society advocacy and transparency efforts. Together, these objectives will help amplify voices of marginalized groups in education policy debates to promote that the right to education is fulfilled for all and to demand for an equitable and quality public education. The EOL fund expects to support around 75 civil society partners in 50+ lower income countries throughout the world, including Africa, Asia, Pacific, Latin America, MENA and Eastern Europe.

The EOL fund is forecast to run for at least 5 years. Oxfam IBIS’ Grant Agent role is implemented primarily through a Global Management Unit (GMU) based in Denmark, and Regional Management Units (RMUs) in Africa (Ghana and Uganda), Asia (Nepal) and Latin America (Mexico). Each RMU is led by an expert Regional Program Manager providing oversight of day-to-day operations across countries in the region, including management of staff, provision of technical advice, and quality assurance of reporting across the entire region.
