COL’s current work in Mozambique is primarily in the areas of open and innovative schooling, technical and vocational skills development, and girls’ and women’s education and training. Mozambique benefits from the programmes offered by the Southern African Development Community Centre for Distance Education (SADC-CDE). Learners from Mozambique have also benefited from COL’s open online courses and other resources.
Partnerships are fundamental to COL’s work. Strategic partnerships allow COL to broaden its reach and engage at global, regional and national levels, while implementation partners support COL’s work in communities and institutions across Commonwealth Member States. Partners include multilateral organisations, regional bodies, national governments, government agencies, foundations, civil society organisations, public and private (not-for-profit) institutions and the private sector. COL partnerships assist in improving and extending teaching and learning services to people in the developing Commonwealth.
