COL’s work in Namibia is in the areas of open schooling, higher education, and gender equality and women’s empowerment through skills development. It is part of the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC) network and benefits from programmes offered by the Southern African Development Community’s Centre for Distance Education (SADC-CDE), COL’s regional centre. Learners from Namibia are also participating in COL’s free online courses and benefitting from other openly available resources.
