In 2007 the cooperation between the IEE and the RUB on the one hand and the Faculties of Management and Economics at Afghan Universities was extended to cover training of Afghan lecturers at the Masters level. In February 2010 the IEE celebrated the first 17 Afghan graduates of the MSc Program in Management and Economics at the RUB. The program has been sponsored by the World Bank through the Strengthening Higher Education Program (SHEP) framework and forms part of a partnership agreement between the RUB and the Afghan Ministry of Higher Education.
