The goal of the program is to create centers of excellence at two to three Belarusian universities that are able to deliver locally taught, Western-style MBA programs. The entire program is a three to four year effort.
To achieve that goal, the Foundation will begin by funding the establishment of partnerships among a larger pool of Belarusian and international institutions (Phase I). Next, one-year program development grants will be awarded to three or four of the most prospective partnerships from that larger pool (Phase II). Finally, larger grants for launching and implementing the MBA programs over two years will be provided to the best two to three partnership programs (Phase III).
The competition is opened to higher educational institutions in Belarus, as well as to North American, European universities/business schools or MBA programs, and institutions/business schools from NIS that have not less than 5 years experience. Projects aimed at creating an MBA program in Belarus must be part of a partnership program which involves foreign and local institutions. Projects should be jointly developed and agreed upon, although Western partners will submit their proposals to the Foundation's Washington, DC office and NIS partners will submit to the Western NIS Regional Office.
