Creating a Literate Environment: Hidden Dimensions and Implications for Policy

Although still somewhat behind expectations, overall literacy rates have more than doubled since 1970. The gender parity index has risen from around 0.45 to 0.75. Analysis of the trends associated with these advances reveals new strategies based on decentralization, use of contractual instruments, partnerships and a redefinition of the respective roles of the state and civil society. These strategies bring positive effects (adaptation of programs to the local level, great potential for expansion, close supervision, community participation and support, etc.), but they also require that the conditions needed for success be created (effective monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, operational tools to empower and involve communities, etc.)
