IDRC and GPE are pleased to invite proposals for applied research projects that will generate and mobilize evidence about the best ways to scale the impact of innovative approaches for strengthening education data systems and data use.  

This call addresses three interrelated challenges, each of which requires research that addresses technical issues, multiple aspects of capacity strengthening, and effective governance and sustainability. The challenges are: 

•  expanding and integrating data sets to understand learners and promote gender equality, equity and inclusion 
•  using platforms and tools to enhance data use 
•  expanding uses and users of data, including for public accountability
