The Commonwealth Education Fund (CEF) is the only international fund focused solely on supporting advocacy in education. It works strategically with civil society in those Commonwealth countries that are most at risk of missing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on education and gender. The work of CEF and its partners is focused on coalition building, budget tracking and increasing access to education for marginalised children. CEF works in 16 countries in Africa and Asia. It is jointly managed by ActionAid, Oxfam GB and Save the Children UK, and funded by DFID.
