Support FLIP+
Fund a Living Digital Public Good
The FLIP+ Library is not a one-off project. It is shared infrastructure that 30+ public education institutions are building together — for the benefit of every education system that joins.
Your support makes that possible at scale. It funds the development, maintenance and evolution of an open-source platform that no single country could build alone — and that serves all of them equally.

Why a shared platform changes the economics of assessment
Every education system that builds assessments from scratch pays the full cost — design, piloting, validation, metadata, psychometrics, quality assurance. Most of that work has already been done, somewhere, by someone. It just was not shared.
The FLIP+ Library changes that equation. When 30 institutions contribute piloted items to a shared pool, the development cost per item drops for everyone. When a country in West Africa accesses reading literacy items already validated in three European systems, it builds on decades of expertise rather than starting from zero.
This is the economic logic of a commons. And it is why every euro invested in FLIP+ is multiplied across every system that participates.
AI can generate an item. It cannot provide: this was used in Country X in year Y with this performance profile and was shared back by a public institution you know and trust.

Aligned with SDG 4.1 and Global Assessment Goals
UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goal 4.1 calls for universal quality education — and measuring it requires reliable, comparable assessment tools that education systems can actually afford to build and use.
The FLIP+ Library directly supports SDG 4.1 by giving every education system access to validated assessment content developed by public institutions, in a governed, equitable, non-commercial space. It reduces the gap between well-resourced and under-resourced systems. It makes high-quality assessment a shared achievement, not a competitive advantage.
Supports national and international learning measurement frameworks
Designed with equity and inclusion at its core — accessible for lower-income systems
Aligned with UNESCO Institute for Statistics priorities on learning outcomes
Open-source: no vendor lock-in, no commercial dependency
What your support enables
The FLIP+ Library’s 2026–2030 roadmap focuses on three priorities that require targeted investment:
Scaling access — reaching more systems and teachers
Expanding from 30+ institutions to a broader international community, including lower-income systems. Building teacher-facing interfaces so that FLIP+ content reaches classrooms, not just national assessment offices.
Responsible AI integration
Developing AI-assisted tools for item translation, tagging and quality assurance — always with human oversight, always under clear governance. FLIP+ is uniquely positioned to show what responsible AI in assessment looks like.
Interoperability and platform evolution
Building APIs and LTI integrations that embed FLIP+ content into national platforms seamlessly. Ensuring the Library remains cloud-agnostic, GDPR-compliant and technically future-proof.
If your organisation has specific funding interests — capacity building, AI, equity, teacher support — we welcome a conversation about targeted partnerships aligned with your priorities.

A funder story
What a funding partnership looks like in practice
As a programme manager in a funding organisation, when I look for high-impact initiatives to support assessment quality and SDG 4.1, I need more than a platform. I need proof that real institutions are using it, that the governance is sound, and that my investment builds something lasting rather than another isolated project.
The FLIP+ Library offers exactly that: real use by public institutions across 5 continents, a consortium governance model built on shared ownership, and a 2026–2030 roadmap with specific phases that targeted funding can unlock.
FLIP+ demonstrates real use by public institutions, not just a theoretical platform, and has a clear plan for governance and sustainability.
