And we never give up.
For every child, Education.

The main purpose of this job is to provide quality day-to-day leadership of ECW’s flagship Acceleration Facility (AF) funding window, from both a strategic and operational perspective. The AF is a catalytic fund through which ECW supports the development and uptake of ‘global public goods’ (which ECW defines as both products and organizational entities) in the Education in Emergencies and Protracted Crises (EiEPC) sector. As per ECW’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, the AF budget will be set at $10 million per year for four years, with funding aligned to the six themes in ECW’s new Learning Agenda. There are three types of grants under the AF: Core funding to strategic partners working in EiEPC e.g. the Global Education Cluster; Funding allocated competitively via Requests for Proposals e.g. on gender; and Flexible funding allocated via grants e.g. to NGOs with a unique value add. Over the last few months, the ECW secretariat has developed a new approach to the Acceleration Facility, drawing on the vision set out in ECW’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026, and in response to recommendations in the Organisational Evaluation.
