Effective Literacy & Numeracy Practices Database

LitBase, UNESCO’s Effective Literacy and Numeracy Practices Database, offers more than 200 comprehensive case studies on effective youth and adult literacy programmes from more than 70 countries. Many of the educational programmes featured on LitBase focus on developing literacy and numeracy. LitBase was created in response to the demand for examples of effectively designed and executed programmes to serve as models for the development of new and improvement of existing literacy initiatives. It also fulfils a demand for collecting and disseminating information on effective or promising literacy programmes for youth and adults.
