This unique project successfully tested an innovative cost-effective, decentralized, blended e-learning solution designed for, and sensitive to, specific gender challenges in South-West Uganda. The solution is providing much-needed opportunity to in-service women teachers to earn their Bachelors of Education, Primary (BEP) degree. E-learning study material is being delivered digitally to target students, where they live, and at a pace that they can self-manage. Crucially, this solution functions autonomously, operating effectively without the need for internet connectivity or reliance on electricity. The strategy involves equipping the learners with solar-powered mobile devices (MP4 Players) preloaded with Educational Lecture Video (ELV) content. The project was funded by Global Affairs Canada – Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT), to test innovative solutions that advance gender equality in the Global South. Within a year of prototyping the innovation in three districts in south-western Uganda, registrations in the pilot education program surged by 159%, from 150 to 389 enrolments. Several universities in Africa, facing similar socio-economic challenges, are interested in adopting CIMC’s pioneering technological solution and unique e-learning platform to “bring the university to the students” .
