According to UNESCO (2023), the annual financing gap in education funding from 2023 to 2030 in low—and lower-middle-income countries is estimated at USD 97 billion. Philanthropy is an important force in the global education sector. It can be a disruptor to the structures and silos of the global education community, with different ideas, perspectives and networks. It can build bridges and it can support innovation. And often, it can fund where others can’t.
The International Education Funders Group (IEFG) is the largest global network of philanthropic actors funding education. We are all passionately engaged in
local, national and international grant-making within diverse organisations, with differing priorities and individual strategies but a shared belief in the power of education and a shared drive to improve the performance of education systems worldwide.

Trailer - IEFG Brains in Gear Series on Education Technology
Welcome to the Brains in Gear or the BIG series! This is a series of podcasts curated by the International Education Funders Groups (IEFG) around varied themes most relevant to the current global landscape in education. This year, the theme is EdTech, which is quite the buzz at the moment, given all the whirlwind of information.
But what Edtech really works and what does not work? What does it even mean when we say "works"? And who is setting the standards on the best EdTech solutions out there and creating the evidence to validate them? What are some context-specific challenges and solutions? Who are the most credible voices in EdTech today? Hear about all this and a lot more in the following weeks.
Whether you are a funder who has questions about EdTech funding or are considering funding EdTech interventions, or you are a practitioner and want to get a peak into the conversations philanthropy is having when deliberating funding decisions or if you are someone interested in engaging in discussions related to EdTech in general to get your Brains in Gear, this podcast is for you! Tune in and join us in these thought-provoking conversations.
