Mozambique is a southeastern African country with a population of almost 33 million (World Bank, 2022).

COL’s current work in Mozambique is primarily in the areas of higher education, open schooling and gender equality and women’s empowerment through skills development for livelihoods (GIRLS Inspire and Empowering Women and Girls) and benefits from programmes offered by COL’s regional centre, the Southern African Development Community Centre for Distance Education (SADC-CDE). Learners from Mozambique are also participating in COL’s free online courses and benefitting from other openly available resources.

Highlights


  • A strategy for the digitisation of learning resources, focusing on climate-responsive sustainable livelihoods and food security, has been developed.
  • Over 2,000 women and girls trained in livelihood skills.
