There are few greater challenges faced by the global community than the learning crisis. By 2030, nearly half of the world’s young people will be failing to learn. This ticking time-bomb for global development will undermine the achievement of all of the Sustainable Development Goals, and demands urgent global action.
In response, the Education Commission (chaired by Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minster and UN Special Envoy for Global Education) and the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen) have come together to create the Education Outcomes Fund (EOF), an initiative to improve the education of 10 million children and young people. EOF will support governments over the next decade to improve outcomes in education and youth employment by paying for results delivered by innovative NGOs and social entrepreneurs. EOF will use several innovative finance instruments including development impact bonds (DIBs) to achieve this mission.
The fund will support improvements in the quality of basic education, and seek to ensure that no child is left behind, with a special focus on underserved populations including the hardest to reach rural populations, girls, children with disabilities, and refugees. It will measure (and pay for) what matters – both core skills like literacy and numeracy, but also critical 21st Century skills such as socio-emotional skills, ICT skills, and other broader fundamentals of a quality education. It will help close the persistent gap between the skills needed by employers, and those attained by today’s youth.
For all the above, EOF will pay almost entirely on the basis of the results achieved, ensuring that taxpayer-funded domestic resources, aid, and philanthropic funds are only used to pay for what works.
