GDLN Locations in China
Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) The GDLN is a worldwide partnership of Distance Learning Centers (DLCs). Its unique facilities offer the opportunity for on-time and cost-effective information exchange, knowledge sharing, coordination, consultation, training, and dialogues to organizations, groups, teams and individuals that work to contribute to sustainable development and the reduction of poverty in the developing world.
Through Distance Learning Centers (DLCs) affiliated with GDLN it is possible to bring together development practitioners and experts at an unprecedented level - to share their experiences and learn from each other as they design and implement ambitious reform and change programs in developing countries. By eliminating the need for experts and practitioners to travel, training or other forms of knowledge exchange do not need to be delivered in a concentrated period of time. This gives more time and flexibility for participants to read more background material; prepare real, rather than simulated assignments related to their actual work; and to learn with their own (local) colleagues as a team. Back to top China Global Development Learning Network The China Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) was first established in 2000 as part of the World Bank Office in Beijing. There are currently 12 GDLN centers in China. They are managed by the (1) Guizhou School of Administration, (2) the Ningxia University, School of Network Education, (3) Inner Mongolia party's School, (4) Gansu Administrative College in Lanzhou, (5) Sichuan Party's School in Chengdu, (6) Qinghai Administrative College, (7) Chongqing Industry and Commerce University, (8) Xi'an University of Architecture Science & Technology, (9) Xinjiang Administrative College, (10) Yunnan University, (11) Guangxi Personnel Affairs in Nanning and (12) Shanghai National Accounting Institute. Most of the centers in China are located in the poorer western provinces and aim to help development and poverty reduction in those areas using information technology to promote distance education and training as well as information and knowledge dissemination. Such an initiative is particularly important as China is rapidly evolving to a position of leadership and influence as a knowledge provider.
