As part of the Qatar Scholarship Programme, the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) has signed a co-funding agreement with Switzerlands Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID).
The new partnership will bring a leading executive education programme in development studies and policymaking to Qatar.
Under the terms of the agreement, Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) will become the home of IHEIDs Executive Master in Development Policies and Practices (DPP) programme for the Middle East and North African (MENA) region.
Beyond funding and facilitation, HBKU will also develop further programmes with the IHEID.
Managed by QFFD, the Qatar Scholarship Programme is a grant provided by Qatar. The programme is designed to attract developing professionals from across the MENA and Africa.
The Qatar Scholarship Programme aims to create future leaders capable of contributing to the development of their country and the wider global community.
The programme also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which seeks to ensure fair and inclusive education and enhanced lifelong learning for all.
In line with its authorisation to coordinate and implement external development assistance projects on behalf of Qatar, QFFD has also announced the launch of the Qatar Scholarship Programme website. This targets international students from developing countries looking to study in Qatar in fall 2020 and beyond.
Deputy Director-General of Planning at QFFD Ali Abdulla Al Dabbagh said, “Qatar through Qatar Fund For Development offers this unique opportunity to confirm its support SDG4 around the world to create future leaders capable of contributing to the development of their country and the humanity.
“Those future leaders will be able to benefit from the advanced infrastructure and facilities available at Education City of Qatar Foundation, a place with branch campuses of some of the world’s leading educational institutes, a homegrown research university, start-up incubators, technology parks, heritage sites, cultural institutions, and so much more, and also the knowledge that HBKU can offer them.”
Speaking after the agreement was confirmed, Assistant Dean for Innovation and Community Development and Associate Professor, College of Islamic Studies at HBKU Dr M. Evren Tok said, “We are delighted that HBKU will play a major part in developing this partnership. The Graduate Institutes DPP offers working professionals from across the global with an unparalleled opportunity to influence the development and policymaking agenda of their home countries.
“Thanks to Qatar’s unique position at a pivotal global crossroads, we are confident that future students will see the logic in studying for the DPP at HBKU. To this end, we are already looking forward to welcoming our first cohort and strengthening our ties with the IHEID.”
Director of the DPP programme Dr Alexandre Dormeier Freire said, “Thanks to the support of the QFFD, we were able to jointly launch the DPP in the MENA region with HBKU. Already present in Latin America, Francophone and Anglophone Africa, Central and Southeast Asia, the DPP is now expanding into the MENA region and will become the largest community of development professionals in the world.
“This will enable us to foster innovative solutions to the many development challenges we will face in the coming years, while respecting our differences and diversity. We are convinced that this partnership with Qatari institutions will give a new impetus to the programme and foster relations between our two countries.”
An online presentation of the DPP programme for candidates coming from the Mena region will take place on June 29 at 12noon (local time Geneva). Interested individuals can register at https://graduateinstitute.ch/executive-education/events/lead-development-middle-east-north-africa
