When launching the Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) in September 2012, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon invited a group of Member States to serve as ‘Champion Countries’ for GEFI in order to galvanize support and visibility for the Initiative among governments. The Champion Countries seek to catalyze political and financial support for education by leading by example and advocating for GEFI.
