A SMARTER WAY TO FUND EDUCATION.
The Education Outcomes Fund (EOF) is a global initiative transforming how education and skills are financed and delivered. We partner with governments, donors, investors, and implementors to make education systems more effective, equitable, and accountable.
RESULTS-DRIVEN
FUNDING
Through our Outcomes Partnership model, funding is tied to measurable results, aligning incentives across all actors to ensure that resources lead to real improvements in learning and employment outcomes.
We believe that every child deserves access to quality education. Our model ensures that funding goes where it matters most—directly to programmes that deliver verified results.

"THE FAILURE TO CONVERT FUNDING INTO OUTCOMES EFFECTIVELY MEANS THAT CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DENIED FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS AND DECENT JOBS. THAT IS A HUGE HUMAN COST."— Sir Ronald Cohen, Chair, EOF
01. PAYMENT FOR SUCCESS
Service providers are only paid when outcomes—like literacy gains or job placements—are achieved and verified by independent evaluators.
02. INNOVATION-READY BY DESIGN
Providers have the flexibility to test and refine interventions. Creating space for comparative evidence and adaptability.
03. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Unlike donor-run pilots, outcomes partnerships operate under government stewardship. Ministries set priorities and lead strategy.
04. SCALE + ACCOUNTABILITY
Standardized contracts and data systems allow multiple actors to collaborate under one framework, enhancing accountability.

WAYS TO ENGAGE
OUTCOMES FUNDING
Support programmes that pay for results, committing funds only when outcomes are independently verified.
IMPACT INVESTING
Provide upfront capital to finance delivery. Investors are repaid, with a return, when outcomes are achieved.
ECOSYSTEM BUILDING
Partner with EOF to strengthen the outcomes-based ecosystem—co-creating knowledge, building capacity.
