Higher Education for Development
- Higher Education for Development
Higher Education for Development works in close partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the nation’s six presidential higher education associations to support the involvement of higher education in development issues worldwide.
HED supports its mission primarily by funding innovative partnerships that partner U.S. colleges or universities with institutions of higher learning in developing nations. HED also facilitates quarterly roundtable discussions on a variety of development issues; and publishes a variety of reports that highlight development news.
HED’s leadership includes a governing board made up of the presidents of each of the six higher education associations and by an advisory board representing a broad cross-section of higher education leadership across the United States. Program staff, based in Washington, D.C., include experts in development.
