Evidence snapshot for Benin
Benin has undertaken several digital and institutional reforms to expand access and representation. The government deployed 43 community digital centres with free WiFi and subsidised access reaching an estimated 1 million people (government projection, not independently audited), while a 2019 electoral code reform reserved 24 parliamentary seats for women, increasing women's National Assembly representation from 7.2% to 25.7% following the 2023 election. In education, a GPE-KIX/IDRC project produced 28 AI-assisted science textbooks piloted across 18 schools reaching over 6,000 students, with 94% of participating teachers reporting increased confidence in teaching science, though these gains remain self-reported rather than independently measured in student learning.
