About Company
About FHI 360 / AHEAD: About FHI 360: FHI 360 is a non-profit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. Our staff includes experts in health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, gender, youth, research and technology — creating a unique mix of capabilities to address today's interrelated development challenges. FHI 360 serves more than 70 countries and all U.S. states and territories. Project Summary USAID continues to support higher education in Afghanistan through the Advancing Higher Education for Afghanistan’s Development (AHEAD) program, an innovative initiative that seeks to improve the quality and relevance of tertiary education by strengthening linkages to public and private sector employability. AHEAD does this through a network approach whereby Afghan Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are partnered with Coordinating Universities, in USA and Afghanistan, across key growth sectors including Agriculture, Business, Education and Health. AHEAD’s Higher Education Networks (HENs) involve a larger number of institutions and a broader set of activities than traditional university-to-university partnerships, providing a mechanism for strengthening HEIs’ capacity, and promoting channels of communication and collaboration across the ecosystem of public and private HEIs in five provinces of Afghanistan. AHEAD also works to increase access to higher education, especially for vulnerable groups like women, and to enhance the management and administrative capacity of HEIs, Ministry of Higher Education and the Technical Vocational Education and Training Authority. The Coordinating Universities are University of Massachusetts (Education HEN), Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Agriculture HEN), University of Minnesota (Health HEN) and the American University of Afghanistan (Business HEN). AHEAD will work with selected public and private HEIs in Balkh, Herat, Kabul, Kandahar and Nangarhar provinces.
