MDP Around the World
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has devoted $15 million to create MDP programs at up to 20 universities worldwide over the next three years. On June 30, 2009, the MacArthur Foundation announced the first round of 10 universities across the globe to receive significant grants to establish new MDP programs. UF was one of two US universities to receive this funding. Currently, there are 22 universities around the globe that offer a Masters in Development Practice Program. Columbia University serves as the secretariat for the global network of MDPs.
UF has a partnership with the University of Botswana which also offers a Masters in Development Practice Program:
University of Botswana (Gaborone, Botswana) will create a modular program designed for working professionals. Rigorous independent study will be complemented by two to three weeks of on campus training each semester. University of Botswana will partner with University of Florida to offer field-training experiences in Botswana.
