Working in tandem with ICDL South Africa (in Republic of South Africa) and ICDL Arab Maghreb Region and UNESCO Cairo Office (in North Africa), ICDL Africa acts to provide oversight and co-ordination to all ICDL partnerships, operations and projects, as well as to provide digital literacy advocacy and expert input into regional high-level debate and policy formation at the strategic level.
As an initiative of the not-for-profit ECDL Foundation, based in Dublin, Ireland, ICDL Africa was established as an African body, under the responsibility of Africans. Its purpose is to guide the implementation of the ICDL standards in the African context and to provide a focal point for the formation of partnerships with other organisations who share the same national economic development and capacity building goals.
The initiative consists of an ICDL Africa Operating Committee drawn from national ICDL representatives across the continent and an African Digital Literacy Leadership Group made up of key regional individual and corporate thinkers and expert contributors in the field. Executive and administrative functions are handled by ECDL Foundation in partnership with the operating committee's member organisations.
