Partnering with IIEP

Plan with us and shape the future

Amid a global learning crisis and other complex challenges, including climate change and widespread inequities, countries across the globe call on IIEP for evidence and support in planning, managing, and monitoring system-wide transformations to improve equity and learning outcomes of all children and youth.

Over the past 60 years and with a vision to act collaboratively, IIEP has developed long-standing financial and technical partnerships. IIEP has joined forces with UN entities, multilateral, and bilateral agencies, as well as with civil society organizations and the private sector. Engagement with ministries of education and education partners at local, national, regional, and global levels is also at the heart of IIEP’s work.

Partner with us

IIEP offers a comprehensive package of educational planning and management training, cutting-edge knowledge and evidence, and capacity development within countries. By combining these three pillars, IIEP drives transformative changes in education systems in pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 4 and the Education 2030 Agenda.

IIEP experts – based in Buenos Aires, Dakar, and Paris, Dakar – do not act alone. Partners in countries, but also at regional and global levels are key enablers of IIEP’s work.  

Together, we can create synergies to implement projects, by sharing our respective know-how and expertise for the benefit of countries worldwide.

Partners can benefit from a range of services and approaches shaped by IIEP. This includes a systems perspective on educational progress, a foresight function that anticipates needs, and direct access to the ministries of education in Member States, helping to bridge international declarations for the future of education and the day-to-day realities facing millions of learners worldwide. 

Similarly, IIEP can nurture its offer with the support of its partners as it can tap into new perspectives, benefit from field presence, and ensure sustainability through financial support.

IIEP’s capacity to respond positively and efficiently to the increasing demand from Member States also depends on its ability to mobilize resources accordingly. In this context, technical and financial partners are more than ever needed for IIEP to deliver on its mandate.

Join us to help:

• Develop new methodologies and innovate with tools,
• Build evidence and global public goods for policy uptake,
• Conduct outreach and knowledge sharing,
• Implement our core training offer,
• Strengthen staff-based expertise.

What’s next?

IIEP is willing to work with partners and organizations who wish to draw on our expertise, knowledge, and experience. The Institute is committed to building longstanding financial and technical partnerships for sub-national, national, regional, or global workstreams.

Partnering with IIEP can be project-based or can involve more structural and long-standing cooperation. In terms of financial support, this can include core funding, which is critical for IIEP to ensure its autonomy and unique position in educational planning and management worldwide, to maintain and develop its expertise, and to respond to the increasing demand of Member States.

In addition, funding partnerships can include soft-earmarked core funding to support IIEP’s work on specific thematic or functions, country-level programmes, and regional programmes.
