This breakfast gathering of education grantmakers is by invitation only and will explore how we are responding and might better respond to educational inequities in the region, exacerbated since 2020 by some of the world’s longest pandemic school closures and continued learning disruptions. This generational crisis has fallen hardest on girls, indigenous, Afro-descendant, rural and peri-urban students, and links to other funder priorities like migration, health, gender equality and economic growth. Philanthropy cannot solve this, but through improved collaboration we can better support those working to address the region’s daunting education challenges.
