Programme development & management

Our activities abroad > Programme development & management

Founded in 1952, Nuffic is the Netherlands’ expertise centre for internationalising education – from primary and secondary education to vocational and higher education and research. We believe in global knowledge exchange, international cooperation and the power of education as a means to enhance socio-economic development, equity, self-sustainability, prosperity and peace.

We contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals by making education and expertise equally accessible for everyone, everywhere. To this end, we support organisations, governments, NGOs and individuals in developed and developing countries

Our global goals for the future:

1. For students and professionals to gain international experience and become change-makers
2. For knowledge institutions to collaborate and contribute to the development of knowledge worldwide
3. Enhance international relations and public diplomacy
   

Education is at the core of everything we do. We have strong experience in managing educational programmes, from programmes focussing on the didactical skills of teachers, to curriculum development and training. We specialise in education in relation with the following themes:

• Food and nutrition security

Education is at the core of everything we do, and this is reflected in every role we take.
