Question 2552 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms Maina Sage questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs about the French contribution which will be allocated to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), for the period 2018-2020. The main sectoral multilateral fund dedicated to education, this mechanism guarantees every child, girl or boy, a quality basic education, giving priority to the poorest and most vulnerable. Girls' education, condition of global development and gender equality are, moreover, at the heart of GPE's concerns. Despite the announcement of the co-presidency, by France and Senegal, of the GPE Financing Conference, scheduled for February 8, 2018, France has not yet announced the amount of its contribution. Between 2015 and 2016, France increased this from 1 to 8 million euros. However, given the alarming education crisis facing the world is facing, it is urgent to strengthen the resources allocated to stimulate economic development, improve skills and opportunities for all, with equal access to education between the sexes and enhanced equity. Also in a dynamic global effort for education, she would like to know the amount of the French GPE contribution for the 2018-2020 period and when France will announce it.
