The Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID) was founded during Bok's tenure to provide developing countries with the expertise they need to improve their economies. HIID's experts--sometimes drawn from the Harvard faculty--get a chance to do real-world research while they consult.
But international scandal, management difficulties and budgetary troubles have tarnished HIID's reputation. As a result, the Institute's days could well be numbered, according to Provost Harvey V. Fineberg '67.
With more than 20 overseas projects and another 25 international efforts run out of the Cambridge office, HIID has been able to provide a world of good for decades.
Roughly half of HIID's budget comes from the United States Agency for International Development (US AID). The other half is assembled from groups including the World Bank and the governments the Institute consults for.
The Slovakia office was a part of HIID's larger Eastern European effort--all bankrolled by the federal government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (US AID).
