The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is the only inter-governmental 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 international and bilateral organizations 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 Commission 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 African Virtual University (AVU), the regional Development Banks and the World Bank.

The Chairman of the Board of Governors is the Honourable Burchell Whiteman, O. J., and COL’s President and Chief Executive Officer is Sir John Daniel. The project manager for “Writing Effectively for WHO” is Ms. Angela Kwan, Learning Manager, International Organisations.

This course was revised in close consultation with staff at the WHO. COL thanks Eveline Coveney in particular for her invaluable comments and advice.
