ANSWER: Global Alliance for Literacy
- Global Alliance for Literacy has been launched by UNESCO to mobilize investment and promote innovative initiatives, with a focus on gender and new information and communication technologies.
- The new global partnership for literacy aims to bring governments, NGOs, academic institutions and the private sector together to look afresh at how to boost progress.
- The Global Alliance for Literacy within the Framework of Lifelong Learning (GAL) was born from deep concern expressed at the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 at the fact that the world’s literacy agenda remained unfinished.
- GAL aims to harness the potential of technology to increase access to quality literacy learning and stimulate and promote collaborative programmes which connect literacy with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
- The initiative coordinated by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) in Hamburg, comprises UN, government and private sector representatives, regional organizations, donors, national and international non-governmental organizations and experts.
