Abstract
Policy transfer research asks what is transferred, but international cooperation in education also requires asking whether a transferred program is reproduced locally. This paper examines U-HOPE, an entrepreneurship education program transferred from Yamagata University to Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan, within a national policy framework and commissioned by a state-affiliated bank. Drawing on the author's first-hand involvement in 2025 as an interviewer and a team mentor, it finds that selection is the interface at which policy and pedagogy meet, and that continuity was embedded in the educational design itself through mentor training, tiered certification, and the return of graduates as instructors.
