This evaluation is part of a larger study of the Global Partnership for Education that comprises 30 country level evaluations. The overall study runs from 2017 until 2020. It aims to assess GPE contributions to strengthening national education systems and, ultimately, education results related to learning, equity, equality, and inclusion; and hence the relevance, efficiency, and effectiveness of GPE’s theory of change and country-level operational model.

This study was conducted between March 2019 and September 2019 and covered GPE support from 2011 to 2019. It draws on document, database, and literature review, as well as on consultations with a total of 61 governmental, multilateral, bilateral, and non-governmental stakeholders in Zambia.
