Program
Goal 1secure funding for bilateral basic education programs: on december 23, 2022, congress appropriated $970 million for basic education in the consolidated appropriations act, 2023, $277 million above the biden administration's request. The act includes $130 million for the global partnership for education (gpe) and $30 million for education cannot wait (ecw). It also recommends that $150 million be allocated for girls education in areas of conflict. The topline number for basic education ($970 million) is a $20 million increase over fiscal year 2022 enacted levels. Gpe and ecw both received increases of $5 million. Bec was happy to see its advocacy efforts result in this increase, during a time of many competing priorities for the administration and the development community.goal 2influence policy that governs basic education programs: bec continued to advocate for key legislation, including the read act reauthorization act, the global learning loss assessment act, and the keeping girls in school act.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $367k to $444k (+21%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
