Advancing Afghan Agriculture Alliance (A-4)

The Advancing Afghan Agriculture Alliance, implemented through a Global Development Alliance with Purdue University, will provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Agriculture and Kabul University. The technical assistance provided will support curriculum reform at Kabul University, establishing or strengthening linkages between the University and related Ministries, strengthening the skills of professors, and strengthening agriculture extension and research activities of the Ministry of Agriculture. Major components include: 1) short term training for University staff; 2) long-term training for Masters and Undergraduates at regional universities; 3) job placement and internship activities; and 4) development of new course curricula and support materials. The program will increase the capacity of participating Afghan universities to provide quality education to their students. Additionally, the program will raise the level of expertise of graduating students to provide Afghanistan with an educated workforce required for successful development of the agriculture sector.
