This paper analyzes the flow of donations to the Global Partnership for Education in the period from 2011 to 2020, an illustrative case of the problem education funding in the countries of the Global South, especially the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. A documental corpus was used to answer the questions: who are the donors, what funding do they provide and in what year(s)? As a first step, we identified the actors providing financial support and categorised them. In a second phase, we conducted a descriptive statistic. The analysis shows that there are three countries that stand out as the main donors - United Kingdom, Norway, and Denmark. The analysis also allowed us to conclude that Foundations appear as donors, although their contribution is sporadic, smaller in volume and inconsistent over the years. Private companies have not contributed directly to the fund with money but gave in-kind support.
