We work to level the educational playing field to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their starting point.
Education is a basic human right, fundamental for the development of individuals and societies, and indispensable for exercising all other human rights. We work towards a world in which everyone can equitably access quality education and lifelong learning opportunities.
Organizations striving for impact in global education confront an increasingly complex landscape. Constrained funding environments, insufficient quality data on key education priorities, and a fragmented landscape of actors threaten progress in the sector. Despite these challenges, accelerated impact in the sector is both necessary and achievable. We help our clients navigate the rapidly evolving financing and political landscapes to realize their bold commitments towards equitable and quality education for all.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) wanted to strengthen its advocacy efforts and increase engagement with donors on the issue of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) in the education sector. However, given the lack of comprehensive data on FLN, it was difficult to accurately estimate the current level of financing for FLN and assess how donors prioritize the issue, which in turn made it difficult to identify key advocacy needs and potential opportunities to influence global agendas.
SEEK supported BMGF with analyzing existing donor policy and financial support provided to FLN issues, by developing a first-of-its-kind methodology to track bilateral and multilateral financing for FLN based on OECD DAC data. SEEK complemented this quantitative analysis with policy research to identify policy priorities towards FLN of key donors and relevant market insights from key actors in the sector.
In addition to developing the evidence base, SEEK also brought research on FLN directly to advocates through a report, donor profiles, and a webinar series through a new FLN section on the Donor Tracker.
With SEEK’s support, the BMGF team was able to deepen its understanding of FLN financing and policy priorities and scale up advocacy efforts in partnership with its wider grantee network on FLN issues in a strategic, evidence-based manner.
Education is crucial for addressing climate change and building a sustainable future, but equitable education access is often jeopardized by the impacts of climate change. We help clients advocate for issues at the intersection of education and climate to promote intersectional policies and approaches to addressing the challenges in these sectors.

Education is one of the most effective tools for empowering girls and women and reducing gender inequalities. Yet, access to quality education continues to be impacted by gender disparities. We help clients systematically break down gender-related barriers to education and promote access to equitable education for all.

Everyone has the right to a quality education, but those living in conflict or protracted crises often face extreme hardship that interrupt the most crucial phases of development and learning. We support our clients in working towards securing an equitable right to a quality education for all.
