The overall goal of the partnership is to build and strengthen relationships between the State University of Haiti's Faculté d'Agronomie et de Médecine Vétérinaire (FAMV) faculty and the Haitian business community by developing curricula that is timely, relevant, responsive to market demands, and representative of actual business conditions in Haiti. The partnership aims to help FAMV faculty to think, teach and act more entrepreneurially to develop Haiti’s agribusiness sector.

University partners hope to utilize faculty expertise and resources from the University of Florida (UF) to build FAMV’s competency to deliver agribusiness programs through teaching, internships, and outreach in Haiti.

Within the Haiti State University system, FAMV offers unique strengths including a rural campus, extension farms in the countryside, and close ties to the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development.
