IIE is pleased to announce the publication of "Building Sustainable U.S.-Ethiopian University Partnerships: Findings from a Higher Education Conference," a new White Paper produced by the Institute of International Education with support from the Embassy of the United States in Ethiopia.

This White Paper serves as a useful follow-up to the December 2010 conference in Addis Ababa, which brought together higher education administrators and faculty from the U.S. and Ethiopia to consider the mutual interests that tertiary institutions in both countries have in forming greater linkages. It provides the texts of conference remarks by Ethiopian Minister of Education Demeke Mekonnen and U.S. Ambassador Donald E. Booth, a summary of the pre-conference survey results, and general outcomes and recommendations.

It also addresses ways that U.S. and Ethiopian higher learning institutions can expand capacity to develop partnerships, and how these institutions can build on their respective strengths. Finally, this IIE White Paper includes a useful appendix with extensive information about each participating Ethiopian institution, including their areas of interest for U.S. partnerships and contact information.
