CARANA Awarded Economics and Business Education Project
in Central Asia (EdNet) Phase II Contract
Arlington, VA—CARANA has been awarded the
follow-on contract for the Economics and Business Education Project
in Central Asia known as EdNet. The focus of Phase II is to enhance
the ability and flexibility of business and economics education to
respond to the evolving needs of business and a competitive labor
market. The project will have three major components: continued professional
development of faculty of business and economics; competitive grants
and pilot projects that close the gap between academia and business;
and continued support for policy reforms that allow for greater flexibility,
quality and harmonization of standards in higher education. Most
of the work will be channeled through indigenous EdNet Academies
and the EdNet Association, as well as other local and regional counterparts.
There is a significant GDA component in collaboration with businesses
and foundations. The contract has a 20 month base period with a 12
month option.
