The government of Bangladesh established a multi-modal remote learning initiative based on Gender and School Closures Analysis (GSCA) to address the digital divide and support the delivery of remote learning in Bangladesh.
The initiative originated in Norway due to a need for collaborative action to answer the urgent demands of medical and social crises.
