The Education Partnerships Group (EPG) was founded in 2015 as an international venture of the UK-based charity, Ark, to meet the growing demand for advice and support on Public Private Partnerships (PPP). Working in 10 different countries, EPG’s work became increasingly focused on providing technical and policy assistance embedded within the education ministries of low- and middle-income countries.

EPG built a particular reputation for creating trusted, long-term relationships with government that allowed their teams to work on the core of the system: creating the policies that define the roles, responsibilities, relationships, and accountabilities of all the different actors involved.

Following the shock of the pandemic, there were significant challenges in sustaining EPG’s historic business model. The team worked for over a year to find creative solutions to sustain the long-term legacy of their projects and, as of October 2023, EPG transferred all its programmes to new providers to take forward this important work.
