@GPforEducation pulls together funds from donors to support education. Countries can apply for funds for their SHN activities if they are already embedded in their education sector plans - @l_j_appleby #AsiaSHN2018

PCD's @l_j_appleby - GPEs focus is on Education for All that is inclusive, equitable and quality. PCD works with govs to develop & place SHN policys within education sector plans. @GPforEducation then is able to support gov plans financially #AsiaSHN2018
