Through extensive experiment and support from the Senegalese government, the United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF), and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), a team of nonformal educational specialists developed a six-module program throughout which literacy is linked to life skills. From its inception in 1988, the TOSTAN Basic Education Program has gone beyond literacy to give learners the means to define and solve problems, improve their families' health, and start small-scale projects in response to local needs.
