Commonwealth of Learning
The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is the only international intergovernmental agency that focuses exclusively on using technology to expand the scope and scale of human learning. It operates on the premise that knowledge is the key to individual freedom and to cultural, social, and economic development.
COL helps governments to develop policies that make innovation sustainable and to build systems or applications that expand learning.
It works in partnership with other multilateral and national development agencies working on the Millennium Development Goals. These include the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), New Zealand’s Agency for International Development (NZAID), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD), the regional development banks, and the World Bank.
The Chairman of the Board of Governors is His Excellency, the Honourable Burchell Whiteman, O.J. Jamaican High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, and COL’s President and Chief Executive Officer is Professor Asha Kanwar.
