The HEET Project aims to strengthen the delivery of higher education through a combination of university-level investments in improving the quality of learning environments and programs, and Ministry-level interventions that enhance the management of the higher education system and support a conducive policy environment.

The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen the learning environments and labor market alignment of programs in priority areas and the management of the higher education system. Achievement of this objective will be measured primarily through the following PDO indicators:

  • Students and faculty participating in internships/fellowships/forms of placement in industry, companies or research institutions (sub-indicators for gender, individuals with disabilities, and students/faculty ratios)
  • Degree programs within priority disciplines that are aligned to labor market needs
  • Students benefiting from direct interventions to enhance learning (corporate indicator)
  • Active use of a Tertiary Education Management Information System (TEMIS)
  • Higher education institutions supported by the project that achieve a minimum threshold of the annual targets set in the Performance Agreements
