The USAID Private Sector Partnerships to Strengthen Higher Education Activity aims to strengthen partnerships between the private sector and academic institutions, and support development of market-oriented and experiential learning approaches in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Agriculture sectors in Kosovo. The Activity will be guided by the Iowa Consortium, led by the University of Iowa (UI), with collaboration from Iowa State University (ISU) and the Kosova Education Center (KEC).<\/p>

University of Iowa (UI) signed a five-year, $4.7 million, Cooperative Agreement with the USAID Mission in Kosovo as the Prime Implementing Partners for the Activity \u201cPrivate Sector Partnerships to Strengthen Higher Education.\u201d This project is novel in that it is a collaboration across Regents\u2019 institutions in Iowa, it is international, and it reflects a longstanding civic relationship between the sister states of the State of Iowa and the Republic of Kosovo. UI is serving in the leadership role for this Activity, with sub-awardees \u2013 Iowa State University and the Kosova Education Center.<\/p>

The activity builds on decades of international cooperation between Kosovo and Iowa (USA) for the purpose of addressing the critical need to scale-up economic opportunities for Kosovo youth by tangibly linking Kosovo\u2019s private sector to its public universities. Established in 2013, the Iowa-Kosovo \u201csister state\u201d connection created a foundation for partnerships across numerous sectors including military, security\/safety, education, agriculture, commerce, youth\/sports, arts, and tourism. The characteristics and equivalencies between Iowa and Kosovo (e.g., population, rural and agricultural tradition, knowledge capacity potential) make Iowa an ideal partner to help develop Kosovo\u2019s educational, economic, and societal potential. After years of forging civil society interactions between Iowa and Kosovo, this activity formalizes multiple relationships by bundling expertise and leadership.<\/p>

The project will be guided by the Iowa Consortium made up of Iowa\u2019s two world-class research universities, the University of Iowa (UI) and Iowa State University (ISU), and the Kosova Education Center (KEC), a leading NGO focused on educational training, analytics, and leadership development), and it will be driven by companies and industry leaders from Kosovo\u2019s Agriculture (Ag) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sectors. Together, the Iowa Consortium and the private sector will team up to work with three of Kosovo\u2019s public universities, representing five Faculties and 12 bachelor\u2019s-level study programs, to provide a set of interventions that will meet the four objectives of Private Sector Partnerships to Strengthen Higher Education specified in the Cooperative Agreement.<\/p>

Our approach will focus on the creation and implementation of university-private sector partnerships that are structured to meet the following four Objectives as specified by USAID, to:<\/p>
