Strengthening Capacity to Improve Smallholder Productivity

About HED Partnerships
HED's innovative, higher education-based partnerships target development challenges worldwide.
Each partnership links a higher education institution in the United States with another institution in a host country. In support of USAID's development goals, partners work together to address a wide range of challenges—from public health to entrepreneurship training, and beyond. Funding for HED partnerships comes from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), USAID Missions and the U.S. Department of State.
What sets HED partnerships apart is the focus on sustained impact—building educational and human capacity in a way that sets the stage for ongoing improvement.
