In Latin America and the Caribbean, UNESCO and Blackboard Academy, though funding and coordination by way of the German: Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the University of the West Indies, Caribbean Center of Educational Planning (UWI-CCEP), respectively, have joint efforts to improve teacher training in digital skills through three main components. First, in the Caribbean the project is based on a train-the-trainer model with resources to a self-sustained professional development program. The second component is in Peru, where the project aims to support the development of quality distance education for migrants and refugees, mostly from Venezuelan displaced families. The third component aims to scale up at a global level by connecting with other strategies to reinforce this programme.
