| Profile: |
From
1974 to 2000, the Harvard Institute for International Development
(HIID) was Harvard University's multidisciplinary centre for
co-ordinating development assistance, training and research
on Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
On 30 June 2000, HIID was formally dissolved and from July 2000,
many of HIID's projects were absorbed and integrated into other
faculties within Harvard University. |
| Approach: |
At the
time of dissolution, HIID was involved in over 30 projects in
approx. 20 countries. Several of these projects involved capacity
building - the Quality Improvement in Primary Schools project
in Ghana, the Capacity Building and Economic Decision-Making
project in Mozambique, the Professional Enhancement Project
in Namibia and the Macroeconomic and Finance Management Institute.
Also see the report entitled 'The
Development Studies Sector in the United Kingdom: Challenges
for a New Millennium" by M Grindle and M Hilderbrand,
September 1999. |
| Finance: |
HIID's
operating budget was approx. US$40 million per year, with support
stemming from private foundations, multilateral and bilateral
aid agencies, regional development banks, UN organisations,
and host governments. |
