Main content
Norad supports North-South-South university partnerships for projects on capacity development in higher education and research, through NORHED II. NORHED is the Norwegian Programme for Capacity Development in Higher Education and Research for Development. NORHED aims to strengthen the capacity of higher education institutions in developing countries to produce higher-quality graduates, more and higher-quality research, and more inclusive higher education.

Objectives
Programme intended impact
The intended impacts of the NORHED programme are:
- Better qualified workforce
- Applied sustainable solutions and practices
- Evidence-based policies
- Enhanced gender equality and inclusion
Intended NORHED outcome
Interventions under the NORHED programme are expected to enable partner institutions in developing countries to produce:
- Higher-quality graduates
- More and higher-quality research
- More inclusive higher education
All projects supported under NORHED need to have a theory of change that clearly shows how the project will lead to the intended outcomes in the NORHED programme framework.
NORHED II gives priority to 12 partner countries.
These are all represented in the new programme portfolio, with the exception of one project in the Sahel region. Most projects are regional with strong South-South elements, and some even with partners across continents such as a project including Bangladesh, Nepal, Mozambique and Uganda. Others are in-country, where so-called “strong” institutions collaborate with younger and less established institutions.
A total of 60 projects have been awarded funding under the NORHED II call for proposals, 5 were from CIH.
