Network of Videoconference-linked Distance Learning Centres

The Global Development Learning Network (GDLN), launched in 1997, is a worldwide network of distance learning centres which links suppliers of education, training and knowledge products to users, especially users in developing countries). In early 2004, drawing on support provided by the Government of Japan, an Asian hub of the GDLN will be established in Tokyo. During 2004, building on material developed in ADBI workshops, the ADB Institute will work with the World Bank and other GDLN partners across the Asia-Pacific region to develop appropriate content for widespread use across the region.
