Hasson II Institute of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine in Morocco: Institutional Development and International Partnership

摘要

Beginning in 1969, the A.I.D. project with the Hassan II Institute of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (IAV) became a three-phase, 20-year period of assistance for establishing a university-level training and research institution to provide the managers, scientists, and technicians required for modernizing the agriculture sector. The Institute's success is still a fragile accomplishment, particularly as it enters a phase when strong charismatic leadership in program and institutional management is being replaced by more routine bureaucratic authority. The school is also confronting a critical recurrent cost financing burden. IAV graduates will increasingly have to seek employment in the private sector, which has demonstrated some concern about the relevance of job-related training provided by the Institute.
