Since 2008, USAID/Vietnam has worked closely with the Government of
Vietnam and the private sector to help reform the higher education
system to produce trained, job-ready graduates that have the skills
necessary to compete on an increasingly global market. Implementation
of projects under the USAID Higher Education portfolio have already
impacted over 30,000 university students by providing curriculum
support, training, and capacity building at the faculty and administrative
levels in the engineering and social work education sectors. By
leveraging buy-in and funding from the private sector, USAID
programming in higher education has been recognized worldwide as
having far-reaching impact with a demand-driven focus.
