With the support of COL, the SADC-CDE office in Gaborone, Botswana developed this Directory for Open Distance Learning (ODL) in the SADC region with a view to opening access to all aspiring ODL learners across the SADC region and beyond. The directory is intended to provide information on ODL institutions within the region, in terms of the country, programmes offered and their levels, institutions offering the programmes, language of instruction, as well as websites and other links where further information on the programmes could be accessed. This is the first attempt at developing a directory of such nature, thus, it is possible that the report may not adequately portray the actual picture on the ground. Nonetheless, it is hoped that the directory will be a step in the right direction, in terms of opening learning opportunities to individuals who may want to extend their education beyond conventional institutions. The directory will go a long way towards cutting expenses for those who would have otherwise travelled physically to member states to enquire about available ODL opportunities. Most importantly, it would enhance the drive towards regional integration and cooperation in education amongst the member states. This report serves as a baseline for future reports and directories of Open and Distance Learning institutions within the SADC region.
