Preface

The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has a substantive interest in ensuring that its resources and influence extend to any country that is able to mobilize the elements of its mathematics education enterprise to make productive use of this connection. In line with this goal, ICMI in conjunction with the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and with the support of UNESCO and ICSU (International Council for Science), promotes the Capacity & Networking Project (CANP). It aims to enhance mathematics education in developing countries by supporting the educational capacity of those responsible for mathematics teachers, and to create sustained regional networks of teachers, mathematics educators and mathematicians, linking them to international support. CANP consists of a programme in a different developing world region every year: each programme has, at its centre, a two-week workshop of about forty
