Based on the CFZS programme, The Computers for Malawian Schools (CFMS) administrative committee includes the Ministry of Education and British Council personnel.

The British Council receive the goods exempt of duty in Lilongwe. They are transferred to the SchoolNet facilities in Blantyre where the CFMS staff check, process and repair the equipment. Microsoft OS and MSOffice suite are installed by agreement with Microsoft Africa. The team also set up the computers at the recipient schools.

As in all recipient countries, strict criteria are applied to the candidate schools to ensure they have the right facilities and security to house the equipment. Each school receives around 10 to 15 computers and a printer. IT teacher training is arranged by the British Council. UK trainers have travelled to Malawi to orchestrate teacher training courses.

In conjunction with the CFMS, the Malawian Ministry of Education has developed an IT curriculum. Schools are encouraged to raise money to replace or add to their equipment through fundraising, community use of the facilities and if necessary asking parents for small contributions. The committee's objective is to have an IT lab in all secondary schools with electricity by the end of 2008.
