USAID Higher Education Learning Agenda

The Agency-wide Higher Education Learning Agenda was developed collaboratively with over 100 individuals from USAID Missions, USAID Washington, implementing partners, and other stakeholders, with support from the Data and Evidence in Education Project (DEEP). These contributors supported learning agenda development and catalyzed a collective movement towards advancing the higher education evidence base.

Questions in this learning agenda are diverse and require different approaches: 

• Evidence Generation: Minimal evidence exists for these questions, which require generation of new evidence.
• Evidence Gathering: Evidence exists for these questions, but it is dispersed and requires gathering and analysis to transform it into usable information. 
• Evidence Dissemination: Evidence exists in a usable form, but it is relatively unknown and requires targeted dissemination and socialization.
