MSU is partnering with Malawi’s higher education system to in?crease access to and completion of STEM courses and programs. “The project will support Malawi’s evolution and growth by increasing the number of youth able to thrive in STEM-related and entrepreneurial jobs that improve the national knowledge economy,” said Christopher Reimann, project co-lead and senior academic specialist in the College of Education’s Office of International Studies in Education.
Through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Transforming Higher Education Systems project, MSU will help build capacity within Malawi’s higher education ecosystem to promote sustainable economic prosperity and self-reliance for Malawians. For this work, MSU received a $17 million grant from USAID.
Established in 1961, USAID’s work advances U.S. national security and economic prosperity, demonstrates American generosity, and promotes a path to recipient self-reliance and resilience.
