IIEP’s strength lies in its global mandate and regional presence. The Institute has established anchors in support of the two priority regions of Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, with a special emphasis on professional networks and South–South cooperation.

IIEP’s work is guided and enriched by IIEP’s expertise in six key areas that are central to the Education 2030 Agenda for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.
