The previous Three-Year Plan (2003–2006) was entitled Building Capacity in Open and Distance Learning, reflecting the focus in the previous triennium. In addressing the needs of Commonwealth governments, we have aligned ourselves with the international development agenda and will build on our experience and expertise in open, distance and technology-enhanced learning to expand the scope and scale of learning for development. // The 2006–2009 Plan further sharpens the focus of COL’s work by using an operational framework defined by sectors and results. It breaks the international development agenda into three broad sectors: Education, Learning for Livelihoods, and Human Environment. In each sector, in light of the needs of individual countries, COL pursues results in the form of policies, systems, and models and materials.
