The second round of Strategic Partnerships is now
open for receipt of Partnership Ideas, until noon (British
Standard Time) on Monday 24th June 2013. DFID is inviting companies across
different sectors to show leadership, innovation and a commitment to
collaborate with others to transform learning opportunities for marginalised
girls in Africa and Asia. The Girls' Education Challenge will provide between
£1m and £10m of match-funding to support strategic partnerships between DFID
and private sector Lead Partners who want to engage in this important area.
