The Orange Knowledge Programme is administered by Nuffic – the Netherlands Organisation for International Cooperation in Higher Education.
The aim of the programme is based on the Netherlands’ development cooperation policy. The programme:
- strengthens knowledge and skills of professionals active in the priority fields through scholarships and training;
- builds the capacity of organisations in higher education and TVET (Technical Vocational Education & Training), in collaboration with Dutch knowledge institutions.
Themes and instruments
The programme offers opportunities in fields related to the priority themes of the Dutch government:
- Food and nutrition security
- Water, energy and climate
- Sexual and reproductive health and rights
- Security and the rule of law
The countries in the programme each focus on one or more of these themes. Together with the local embassy we decide which themes are applicable for each country. We do this by focusing on the local needs of each participating country.
In addition, the following cross-cutting themes are important in all participating countries:
- Private sector development
- Inclusivity of women and marginalised groups
- Environment
