Join the APLU Knowledge Center for Advancing Development through Higher Education for a webinar on USAID’s Local Solutions (part of USAID Forward), which encourages sustainability through country ownership of the development agenda. During this webinar, we’ll explore the Local Systems Framework, which provides a foundation for engaging local systems in ways that support local ownership, local entrepreneurship and local accountability and emphasizes the importance of this approach to the design and implementation of development programs. We’ll also discuss the role of higher education institutions in light of the Local Systems Framework and where Local Systems and Human and Institutional Capacity Building (HICD) intersect.
The webinar format will include an interview with our presenters, followed by time for Q&A from the participants. This webinar should be of special interest to chief international officers, higher education administrators, faculty members and students interested in creating projects that focus on building sustainability with local partners.
