» IT courses click open new windows in Moldova
Although numerous students in Moldova graduate each year with information technology (IT) degrees, companies there struggle to find qualified candidates. The programs are filled with theoretical courses that give students an abstract base, but leave them without the practical skills to find top jobs. A USAID project helped reshape two courses by encouraging a partnership between the business community and academia.

» Radio programs support peace in Nepal
The decade-long Maoist insurgency in Nepal killed thousands, displaced more than 400,000 people, and destroyed more than $1.5 billion in infrastructure. Progress toward peace has been slow; a peaceful democratic future for the country requires active citizen participation. Live radio has emerged as an effective forum for engaging youth, encouraging discussion of public issues, and diffusing tensions among religious and ethnic communities.
