Since the last quarter of 2001 the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has significantly increased its role in reforming higher education in Pakistan. This paper examines USAID’s work in the development of Higher Education. Moreover, the paper discusses recent and on-going USAID efforts and contributions in reforming higher education in the country. The set of policies related to institutional development, reforms at the policy level and faculty development programs are also discussed. Additionally, the paper discusses parts of 2009 Kerry-Lugar bill that has been developed into a strategic partnership development document between Pakistan and the United States. The data collection process included document reviews and analysis; field visits to USAID funded projects, and consultations and discussions with the project leadership teams that are working with the USAID to bring about reform in higher education in Pakistan. Through an in-depth analysis of USAID’s role in education in Pakistan, this research help develop well in-formed policy making and implementation process while taking into account the complexities of all the forces that shape higher education development in Pakistan.
