This guide provides a general overview of the GPE country-level operational model and processes

It can be used as a tool to navigate GPE processes at different stages of the sector-planning and grant-level cycles. This overview primarily targets local education groups including developing country partners, development partners and civil society organizations. It may be particularly useful for grant agents and coordinating agencies. Links are included to more detailed and comprehensive guidance on each of the processes discussed here.

For high-level policymakers and newcomers to GPE, a brief summary of the country-level process is available as:"How GPE works in partner countries."
