ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END
My nine years as Education Specialist at COL have now come to an end and it is time for me to bid you adieu. I want to thank every member of our partner institutions for joining the journey towards flexible and blended TVET. We have laughed a lot and learned a lot and I hope that your journey will continue. So many people have benefited from your efforts to improve access and quality in skills training.
I am going back to consultancy and will be busy in Sierra Leone for a while. I am sure many of our paths will cross again.

Daktari Alison: A worthy Trojan!
It is unimaginable to imagine (sorry about the repetition!) that anyone in the CLN clan can ever fully express what Dr Alison represents to TVET in Africa. I try not to get too emotional each time I reflect on the inevitability. The consolation,…Continue
