WELCOME
Welcome to the National Federation of Haitian Universities and Professional Institutions, (FNUIPH). Join us in working together to beat the odds and to make not only our dreams a reality, but also the dreams of our youth, who will need our help in order to achieve their goals for success.
Our work focuses on leading higher education professionals, to globally address the current and future challenges that must be overcome, to meet the growing demand for career readiness for higher educational institutions in underprivileged countries; and specifically, Haiti. It begins by building a conceptual framework that draws on the assistance of policy entrepreneurs – to shape, reform, expand and promote its goals.

INTRODUCTION
FNUIPH’s objective is to offer assistance and services to all universities, higher education institutions and professional associations working within the higher education sector in Haiti, with the intent of promoting high-quality education.
All are welcome to become members of the Federation. In doing so, the logos of these higher education bodies will be placed on the FNUIPH website. Any affiliation to the Federation is subject to a set of criteria that must meet International standards.
The FNUIPH would like to extend an invitation and welcome all future members — we look forward to working with you to systematically enable the extensive exchange of intellectual, scientific and technological knowledge.

HISTORY
The purpose of creating the FNUIPH, comes from significant research pointing to the decline of higher education and the growing number of high school drop-outs, who do not have the basic education or skills necessary to attain a university-level education.
The Federation recognizes the scale of the challenge and made the critical decision to immediately begin the process of advancing higher education. Consolidating a well-defined model will allow us to offer our services to all sectors of national life, embracing academia. Its purpose, as a not-for-profit organization, is to assist associations and learning communities to benefit from the richer experience of our compatriots, who are International experts living on different continents.
Scholars are needed to offer their expertise to the national rebuilding, benefiting in some instances from a consultant status to UNESCO and the European Council.

INTERNATIONALIZATION
International benchmarks are necessary to compete in the global economy, enabling students to graduate from high school ready to pursue college or career education without the need of remedial coursework. Preparing students for an education that is not deferential to state and International borders is the foundation on which we resolve to build.
The FNUIPH Internationalization policy forms part of an intentional strategy aiming to improve education and its relevance. By consolidating higher education in a motivated dialectic of sharing, and training trainers on the quality of learning and research, the objectives will allow the following strategies for implementation:
Evaluation of the trends behind the decline leading to current trends.
Comparison on the basis of training on a globalized scale.
Production of a set of tailored services.
Submission of specific services depending on impact assessment.
Critical synthesis driving current trends.
International discussion of all data collected.

TECHNOLOGY
The most advanced technology must be available to higher education in Haiti, to address the existing disparity. Through its inclusion in all teaching functions, it must enhance the quality of training in education and research, while fitting within the framework of a comprehensive policy to tackle financing issues. The commitment to improve universal access to avoid inequalities is fundamental.
SLIDE 13
RESEARCH AND STANDARDIZATION
Establishing a set of criteria for training in all areas of higher education, leading to the standardization of curricula, is essential to the success of FNUIPH. Each university and higher education establishment becomes a sectorial group with its own methodology derived from FNUIPH curricula.
Means, methods and mechanics arise from the establishment and technological innovation of the FNUIPH. Faculties, departments, institutes or schools of the member universities working in the same scientific disciplines or fields of study, teaching and research; will work to consolidate, develop and share their knowledge to meet the academic ethical and spiritual objectives of the Federation within its member institutions.
SLIDE 14
SUSTAINABILITY
The development of higher education is reliant upon the activities of the caucuses and the synergies in which they participate in order to address the interdependent challenges of economic, social, cultural and environmental sustainability.
At this stage, participation in International and regional initiatives is imperative in order to promote the integration of sustainable development into all cultural and academic infrastructures relating to work within the field of higher education.
Management services will follow the lead of the members and associates who embrace developmental approaches in the strategic plan of sustainable academic and organizational work.
SLIDE 15
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
As a forum for reflection, discussion and cooperation, the FNUIPH aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of its members and increase the effectiveness, visibility and attractiveness of the Haitian system for higher education and research. Engagement with critical thinkers and national companies to improve International visibility, while still ensuring that each member has administrative and academic autonomy will ensure the successful achievement of our universal objectives.
Recognizing the necessity to ensure the sustainability of its objectives and prevent any differences or conflicts of interest or personality between its members or with potential partners, the FNUIPH provides all its members with the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, which members are required to follow unconditionally.
