History of CEMBA/CEMPA Traditional ways of delivering
management programmes can be expensive & restrictive
In 1989, COL began exploring ways to develop an affordable & accessible management training programme

Goal
To deliver high quality open & distance learning management curriculum….
to residents of the Commonwealth…
to promote human resource development

The whole can be greater than the sum of the parts
![Page 6: Commonwealth Executive MBA/MPA Commonwealth of Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022072117/5697bf901a28abf838c8e20d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Through collaboration among institutions with mutual respect & shared missions…
we can offer students in our countries access to programmes that we would have difficulty mounting as sole institutions
