Name: Netherlands Programme for Institutional Strengthening of Post Secondary Education and Training Capacity (NPT)
Initiating organisation
Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education
Description: For nearly half a century, the Netherlands government has financed several international cooperation programmes aimed at the sustainable strengthening of institutional capacity for post-secondary education and training in developing countries.

In June 2002 the government launched the Netherlands Programme for Institutional Strengthening of Post-secondary Education and Training Capacity (NPT), together with Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP). The overall aim of the programmes is to help alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower, and to do so within the framework of sustainable capacity-building directed towards reducing poverty in developing countries.

The NPT has an annual budget of some EUR 31 million. The programme is administered by the Netherlands organization for international cooperation in higher education (Nuffic) on behalf of the Dutch government .
