Providing inclusive and equitable quality education for all children will require sustained cooperation and investment from donor and partner nations worldwide. As a multi-stakeholder funding mechanism, the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) is an important Education Diplomacy model. The 2018 Dakar Financing Conference is a vibrant illustration of GPE's role as a convener, bringing together government, business, philanthropy, and civil society to call the world's attention to the importance of education and mobilize leadership on behalf of increased funding to sustain quality education.
