Prime Minister Evans Paul congratulated Nesmy Manigat, the Minister of National Education for his appointment to the Presidency of the Governance, Ethics, Risk and Finance Committee of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).

The Governance, Ethics, Risk and Finance Committee provides oversight of GPE's Conflict of Interest Policy and risk management framework, and advises the Board on ensuring GPE resources are managed efficiently, effectively and consistent with the Global Partnership’s mission, goals, objectives and policies.

In particular, the GERF has the following roles :

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest: The GERF has decision-making and advisory roles delegated by the Board to the Ethics Committee in the Conflict of Interest Policy.
Risk Management: the GERF Committee oversees the development and implementation of a risk management framework and/or other risk management and mitigation measures and policies, as well as other measures on fraud, corruption and other misuse of GPE resources, including recommending action to the Board.
Financial Management: the GERF Committee provides advice to the Board to ensure GPE resources are managed efficiently, effectively and consistent with the Global Partnership’s mission, goals, objectives and policies. For example, the GERF Committee recommends new and revisions to financial management of policies and practices, such as fiduciary standards for Supervising Entities/Managing Entities (SE/ME); forecasts available resources and monitoring of the Global Partnership’s financial position; oversees budgets and costs: 1. develops/monitors the implementation of policies on Supervising Entity/Managing Entity roles and responsibilities and associated fees and costs for grants; 2. provides guidance to the Secretariat on its administrative budget.

The Global Partnership for Education (former Fast Track Initiative) was established in 2002 to help low-income countries to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, related to education, and to facilitate the achievement of the Education for All goals.

Since 2002, the GPE has helped to commit around $4.5 billion and get very positive results.

The Global Partnership considered increasingly as a model for strengthening cooperation in the development of education, today gathers 61 developing countries and more than 30 bilateral, regional and international organizations, as well as development banks, private sector companies, teacher unions and local and global civil society groups. It supports developing countries to ensure quality basic education for every child, and give priority to the poorest children living in fragile and conflict-affected.
