The main purpose of the study was to assess the impact of World Links activities on youth, both in-school and out-of-school, in terms of enhanced learning, acquired skills or changed attitudes. World Links examined its past and current programs in the ten countries and focused on three sub-groups of participants: students currently participating in the World Links program, students who participated in World Links programs at least two years ago, and out-of-school youth who use World Links-developed school-based telecenters.

Uganda Tracer Study: An impact assessment of Information and Communication Technologies on World Links Participating Students
The World Links for Development program was launched by the World Bank in three secondary schools in the East African country of Uganda in 1996 as a pilot project. Known as the School-to-School Initiative(STSI), the project focused on the acquisition of basic computer skills. In 1999, World Links for Development became an independent, non-profit , and expanded its focus to include Internet connectivity and the training of teachers and administrators in the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching content. Tele-collaborative projects have also been introduced, which link Ugandan students with students from other countries as they research such topics as HIV/AIDS, sustainable development, and environmental issues. Locally known as "SchoolNet", the World Links program currently operates in 20 secondary schools in Uganda and in twenty developing countries worldwide.
