Joint UCOP/CIDE PROJECT
CIDE will act as a clearinghouse of information to service UCOP organizations, namely the Office of International Academic Activities and the Education Abroad Program. Much of the data collected for the CIDE Higher Education Database will be in collaboration with EAP directors worldwide.

CIDE is a partner with California-based NGO Relief International (www.ri.org). Relief International is a humanitarian, non-profit agency providing emergency relief, rehabilitation, and development assistance to victims of natural disasters and civil conflicts worldwide. RI endeavors to bridge the gap between immediate emergency relief and long-term community development, through innovative programming that is multi-sectoral and grassroots-based, that promotes self-reliance and the peaceful reintegration of populations, and encourages the input of and participation from targeted groups such as women, children and the elderly, whose special needs are often neglected in disasters.

UNESCO in a distance education program to enhance the
capacity of teacher educators, (3) linkages with various
universities to strengthen both the capacity of teacher
educators and of the institutional setting where they
work, and (4) other means. For more information, visit
