The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) invite proposals for applied research projects to generate and mobilize evidence in support of scaling the impact of innovative approaches that will strengthen education data systems and data use. This call focuses on GPE partner countries in Africa, Europe, Asia and the Pacific (EAP). 

The Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX) is a joint endeavor of GPE and IDRC. KIX supports countries to have and use the evidence and innovation they need to accelerate access, learning outcomes and gender equality through equitable, inclusive, and resilient education systems fit for the 21st century. KIX achieves this by facilitating direct knowledge sharing across GPE partner countries through four regional Hubs and by funding applied research on their priorities. KIX is part of GPE’s strategy to support transformative change for education in lower-income countries.  

The objectives of this call are to:  

• Generate evidence about how to scale the impact of innovative approaches to address challenges of data systems and data use in education systems.  
• Strengthen the capacities of relevant stakeholders to use that knowledge and innovation.  
• Mobilize the evidence developed to improve policy and practice in education systems.  

The deadline for the submission of proposals is July 17, 2023 (23:59 EDT).
