Mission Educate A Child aims to make a major contribution to trigger significant breakthroughs in providing out-of-school children in poverty, crisis, and conflict-affected environments with a full course of quality primary education.

4. Educate A Child Strategic Objectives By 2015/2016, EAC aims to: Influence the enrolment and retention of at least 10 million out of school children (OOSC) Support the development of education quality so that children who attend school stay in school and have an opportunity to learn Contribute to mobilising US$ 1 billion to support education and develop innovative financing mechanisms to foster programme sustainability Keep the issue of out of school children at the top of global and national agendas

5.  Rights-based  Targets the most marginalized, most disadvantaged – the hardest to reach  Out of school children at the primary level – a specific targeting of resources  Emphasizes Scale and Sustainability  Supports a diversity of approaches to OOSC -- formal and non-formal  Aligns with MDG2 and now SDG 4 – “Keeping the Promise” of MDG2 Our Approach

6.  Partnership and collaboration – recognizes and builds on existing projects and promotes collaboration around effective practices  Scaling-up proven models by providing financial and technical support  Co-funding – co-funding model ensures shared commitment and leveraging of additional resources  Alignment -- ensure programmes we support are aligned with country plans and priorities Our Operating Principles

7. What is Unique about EAC?  Responsive, rather than prescriptive in our approach  EAC is not competitive, but selective  Recognizes and builds on what is working already  EAC is inclusive. Willing to support different partners and programmes in a single country  Singular focus on OOSC at the primary level; in particular the hardest-to-reach  “Challenge Fund”/co-funding
