Open Learning for Development is an effort to provide free learning with the ultimate goal of helping developing countries around the world. The Open Training Platform is a UNESCO-driven hub offering free training resources on a wide range of development topics, fostering cooperation to provide free and open content for development.

UNESCO has launched this platform on the internet to make available training and capacity-building programmes and resources. These are developed by a variety of stakeholders worldwide in a wide range of subjects, including literacy, computers, business, environment, community development and much more. [1]

The Open Training Platform initiative regroups partners from all UN agencies (FAO, ILO/ITC, ITU, UNESCO, the UNITAR, UNV, WHO and UNEP), worldwide development practitioners and agencies, as well as regional and local NGOs and CBOs. [2]
