Abstract

The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is an intergovernmental agency, established by the Commonwealth Heads of Government to promote the development and sharing of innovative approaches to the provision of learning for sustainable development. Since 1989, COL has been carrying out research, organising capacity-building activities, experimenting with new technologies and producing resources to support programmes of Open, Distance and Flexible Learning (ODFL) in member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. In its Strategic Development Plan for the period 2015-2022, COL is targeting support for extending the use of ODFL approaches for skills development in Zambia.
