About FHI 360/AHEAD

FHI 360 is a non-profit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. Our staff includes experts in health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, gender, youth, research and technology — creating a unique mix of capabilities to address today's interrelated development challenges. FHI 360 serves more than 70 countries and all U.S. states and territories.


The Advancing Higher Education for Afghanistan’s Development (AHEAD) program supports the government of Afghanistan and its Ministry of Higher Education to increase access to higher education for vulnerable populations, improve the quality and relevance of higher education that supports market needs, and enhance the management and administrative capacity of Afghan higher education institutions (HEIs) and government counterparts. The five-year activity builds upon the results of USAID’s previous higher education investments and accelerates human and institutional capacity through a network approach whereby Afghan HEIs are partnered with Lead Universities across key growth sectors including Agriculture, Business, Education and Health. AHEAD’s Higher Education Networks involve a larger number of institutions and a broader set of activities than traditional university-to-university partnerships, providing a mechanism for strengthening Afghan HEI capacity, and promoting channels of communication and collaboration across the ecosystem of public and private HEIs in five Afghan provinces.
