De filantropie voorbij (Beyond Philanthropy)
'De filantropie voorbij' (Beyond Philanthropy) is the title of Nuffic’s study report on the participation of Dutch higher education institutions in the capacity development programmes NPT, NICHE and NFP. Nuffic set out to study the extent to which Dutch higher education institutions are able and willing to participate in development cooperation. Findings of the study can be useful when developing new programmes.
The study revealed that development cooperation is no longer a priority in most Dutch higher education institutions’ central policy. However, the institutions still remain in favour of supporting developing countries through the current types of capacity building programmes in post-secondary education.
Considerable interest
There is a considerable amount of interest in participation (or continued participation) in such programmes in the future. Future scholarship programmes may count on substantial interest among training providers in particular. Participation in an institutional programme is a serious option for many organisations, provided that a number of conditions are met.
English summary
Recommendations for future programmes are included in the report. These are listed in the English summary of the Dutch report (p. 3-4).
