Development partnerships in higher education (DELPHE)

UK-Vietnam research links - bringing together expertise to help reduce poverty, promoting science and technology and help meet international targets for providing basic health and education services by 2015.

The initiative is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and managed by the British Council.

What is DELPHE?

DELPHE is a new programme, which will build on the strengths of the Higher Education Links scheme and aimed at supporting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), which is contributing 15 million pounds sterling over seven years to support a range of partnerships including between Higher Education institutions in the UK and overseas.

DFID's focus countries in Asia, which are eligible for funding are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Vietnam.

Partnerships supported under DELPHE will involve at least two Higher Education institutions and there will be particular emphasis on partnerships between different countries. Grants for each project will range from GBP15,000-GBP50,000. Proposals must be led by a partner in an eligible country. These lead partners will be responsible for managing the projects, normally over a three year period.
