The Internet and mobile end devices are increasingly widespread on the African continent, giving improved access to knowledge and information as a result. In light of this, the question is asked about how digital media might be used to enable long-term improvements in the inadequate institutional education and training infrastructure in African countries. The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) has responded to this question with their programme “Innovation in Vocational Education and Skills Training (INVEST) – Africa”. The aims are presented as well as the programme itself with the aid of selected programme priorities.
