At the Dov Institute, we’re committed to excellence in everything we do. We’ve already achieved that with our top-tier facilities, and now we’re focused on making our curriculum just as outstanding.

Building the curriculum has been no small feat. Starting from scratch, we created a completely new approach to education in Niger. With a focus on horticulture, income generation, and hands-on skills, nothing like it existed before. It took us 2 years to design a curriculum that prepares students for thriving careers and successful lives, and we submitted it for government approval in late 2022.

Then, in July 2023, a coup overturned Niger’s government. With the military in control, support for rural development projects dwindled, and job prospects for agricultural technicians took a hit. So, we adapted. We expanded the curriculum to include careers in agribusiness and resubmitted it for Ministry approval. After 3 years of hard work, we’re proud to introduce the groundbreaking curriculum that will be taught at the Dov Institute.
