The Presidents of Senegal and France are co-hosting GPE\u2019s 2018 Financing Conference, aimed at replenishing its financial resources, which commenced in Dakar.<\/p>\n<p>GPE is seeking to raise US$3.1 billion from donors to support the education of children in developing countries over the next three years and Its goal is to enable governments to increase their education expenditure to 20 per cent of their overall budget. GPE is currently active in 31 of the 36 countries that make up Ecobank\u2019s pan-African footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on Ecobank\u2019s involvement, Serge Ackre, Managing Director of Ecobank Senegal, said: \u201cSenegal is achieving significant economic progress thanks to investing 24 per cent of its budget in education, setting up a countrywide programme of state-funded nurseries and providing free universal access to schooling. By co-hosting GPE\u2019s financing conference, Senegal is asserting its rightful position as an educational blueprint for other African states to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ade Ayeyemi, Ecobank\u2019s Group CEO, concluded: \u201cEcobank is proud to be the first banking group to join forces with GPE to advance educational outcomes across Africa. GPE is seeking to leverage our experience of working with African governments, DFIs and global technology leaders to develop digital solutions that will facilitate more targeted investment in Africa&#8217;s education systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all need to unite to help shape Africa\u2019s future by equipping our children with the skills for success in the digital world. Only together can we force the pace of change necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 73 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Saturday, 3 February 2018 Source: Ghananewsagency.org 2018-02-03 GPE is seeking to raise US$3.1 billion from donors to support the education of children Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), the parent company of the leading pan-African financial institution, has been selected as a private sector \u2018partner of choice\u2019 by the Global Partnership for Education (\u2018GPE\u2019).
