The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) is a civil society movement that calls on governments to realise the right to inclusive-equitable education in accordance with SDG- 4. With members in more than 100 countries, our movement network brings together grassroots organisations, teachers’ unions, child rights groups, NGOs, parents’ associations, and community groups. GCE’s collective work as a network encompasses collaboration at the global level to influence international frameworks and policy debates, as well as networking and communication between members for shared learning.

This learning handbook aims to strengthen strategic opportunities for engagement in GPE amongst civil society organisations through coordination supported by GCE and to identify mechanisms that coalitions can engage at national, regional, and global levels to influence key decision-making processes. By providing coalitions with key leverage points regarding the new GPE operational model 2025 while identifying a common understanding in fostering ‘meta governance’ that will lead to an inclusive partnership amongst civil society movements.

This learning handbook is produced by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) to support greater shared learning, understanding, and capacity development of CSOs on the new GPE2025 strategy.
