The Global Connections and Exchange for Bangladesh promotes integration of technology into Bangladeshi schools, including teacher capacity development in terms of both technical skills and teaching methodology. The program's main goals are to increase global dialogue and educational opportunities by installing modern computer equipment with Internet access in schools, and to develop training and learning projects for teachers and students. The GCE is designed to promote equity of access to technology in a region lacking technological resources and enabling infrastructure. The Internet Learning Centers set up under the program have emerged as a community resource, and are managed as a community asset, with the goal of sustainable income-offset operation within a five year window.

The project has produced a replicable telecenter model which has enabled access and learning for 47 core schools after the addition of 20 D.Net Schools.
