Intended as a companion text to Learning for Development, the Commonwealth of Learning’s ThreeYear Plan for 2006-2009, this compendium COL in the Commonwealth 2003-2006 reviews COL’s work over the last triennium country by country. These two documents provide the starting point for the Country Action Plans that will guide COL’s future activities in each country and ensure their consistency with the national priorities of governments. It has been more than a decade since COL has attempted such a detailed report on its work in each Member State. I apologise for any inconsistencies of presentation in this first version and invite feedback from readers so that we may make it even more useful in future. // These country reviews, which cover all Commonwealth countries except Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, are grouped under four regions: Africa (and the Mediterranean), Asia, Caribbean and Pacific.
