2007 Synergy Workshop Report

Synergy Workshop 2007:

A Decade of Higher Education Collaboration in Development

In marking the tenth anniversary of collaboration between USAID and higher education, Higher Education for Development (HED) held the 2007 Synergy Workshop in Washington, DC, in August 2007, bringing together over 345 current and former partners, representing 94 partnerships across 43 countries.

Members of the media, private sector organizations, the international diplomatic corps, and U.S. and host country governments also attended.

The workshop enabled attendees to review the contributions of higher education partnerships over the past decade and discuss how the program’s effectiveness can be enhanced and extended. Participants included 68 host country institutions and 93 U.S. colleges and universities, representing 34 percent of all partnerships since 1998.

Through roundtables, moderated discussions, and networking sessions, the workshop participants reported evidence of program success, indications of sustainability, and proposed models for future expansion or replication in other countries or regions.
