Education is the most powerful weapon for development and one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty, raising incomes, promoting economic growth and shared prosperity, and for improving health, gender equality, peace, and stability.
Focusing towards the importance of education today, the need of a developed world and keeping in mind the issue that with 57 million children not in school today and 250 million more not acquiring basic skills necessary for work and life, ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity depend on more and better investments in quality education and learning, the REACH Trust Fund has issued its second call for proposals for activities to be financed under the REACH Trust Fund’s Knowledge, Learning and Innovation Grant with an aim to support efforts toward more and better education services, especially to those most excluded, by helping country systems focus more sharply on results.
In line with the World Bank Group’s education sector strategy, REACH will support the Bank’s efforts to build evidence on what works for a systems approach to education reforms and investments, working in complementarily with SABER (the System Approach for Better Education Results).
REACH is currently funded by the Government of Norway through NORAD, the Government of the United States of America through USAID, and by the Government of Germany through the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
