The Egypt Higher Education Partnership Program (HEPP) is a 5-year, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded project. The program—part of the larger U.S.-Egypt Higher Education Initiative—develops the long-term institutional capacity of Egyptian universities and technical colleges to generate the human capital needed to sustain Egypt’s economic growth and competitiveness. HEPP has three main objectives: (1) Improving the quality and relevance of tertiary education creating a critical mass of youth and women with hands-on experience and expertise in defined areas related to private-sector needs and Egypt’s development challenges.; (2) Promoting Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) in national priority development areas; and (3) Improving institutional governance and management of the Egyptian higher education System through targeted activities. Through HEPP, RTI International worked with USAID, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), and a coalition of Egyptian and U.S. universities and private sector partners to provide thousands of Egyptians of all genders with access to higher education opportunities in both Egypt and the U.S. as well as facilitate strategic partnerships in key fields to strengthen Egypt’s economy.
