The Institute is one of many collaborative activities between COL and NIOS . A broader intended outcome of the Roundtable was the development of proposals for future actions by COL and for consideration by other agencies . However , duty called me to the South Pacific where our colleague Jenny Williams arranged some excellent meetings with the Government of New Zealand , who are very strong supporters of COL and its work in small states . For international agencies like COL and UNESCO the incentive is to widen access to quality higher education as a route to sustainable development . These are welcome opportunities to communicate important messages about COL and about open and distance learning ( ODL ) for development .
