Key Information

With a budget of over US$75 million, KIX is the largest fund solely dedicated to meet global public good gaps in education.

Through the sharing and funding of proven solutions and innovations, KIX will ensure that:

  • Evidence-based solutions get in the hands of national policy makers and directly feed policy dialogue and planning processes.
  • Capacity is built to produce, integrate and scale knowledge and innovation in partner countries.

KIX consists of regional hubs, where partners come together to share information, innovation and best practices, and a funding mechanism that provides grants at the global and regional levels to invest in knowledge generation and innovation, and to scale proven approaches. The two components are supported by an online platform.
