Partnerships for Education

Partnerships for Education (PfE), a joint initiative of the World Economic Forum Global Education Initiative and UNESCO, was formally launched in January 2007.

Its goals are to enhance global understanding of the value of Multistakeholder Partnerships for Education (MSPEs), focusing particularly on the roles of governments and the private sector, and to support the delivery of such partnerships to help achieve the Education for All (EFA) goals. 

 2008 Accomplishments at a Glance:

• Created two Technical Advisory Groups involving the private sector, civil society, governments, donors and international agencies
• Hosted three key MSPE workshops in Geneva and Paris
• Published a survey and global meta-review of MSPEs
• Launched an interactive database of existing MSPEs to facilitate knowledge collection, synthesis and sharing

 Partnership for Education database:

A database designed to provide users with an opportunity to share two main types of information: details about existing MSPEs across the world; and material of value to those seeking to implement effective MSPEs: www.pfore.org
