| Popis: | application/pdf "Despite recent massive efforts in countries around the world, implementation of literacy campaign cannot catch up with the population explosion. At the international level, the United Nations invited UNESCO to assume the leadership role in order to contribute to a greater understanding by the public of the problem of illiteracy, and to advance to the effort to spread literacy campaign. Other international organizations also became interested in funding adult literacy campaign in the Third World countries because they have recognized literacy as the fundamental factor for development. In order to formulate an effective policy of literacy campaign cooperating with both international and intranational efforts, it is necessary to review experiences of successive literacy campaign. Tanzania is known as a country that has achieved a successful literacy campaign in collaboration with both multilateral and bilateral agencies during 1970s. By analyzing the Tanzania literacy campaign policy between 1960s and 80s and using it as a case study, it will be possible to draw implications about the appropriate roles that international organizations can play in a effective campaign against illiteracy. Although UNESCO and SIDA (Swedish aid organization) played important roles for providing technological support to promote the literacy campaign, a national commitment to mobilize people made a literacy campaign a real success." |
