The Literacy Initiative for Empowerment (LIFE) is a programme of action
in support of the achievement of Education for All and a key operational
mechanism to increase literacy learning opportunities within the framework
of the United Nations Literacy Decade (UNLD).
The LIFE initiative will be implemented in 35 countries with literacy rates
of less than fifty percent or a population of more than 10 million persons
without literacy competencies. Currently, 85% of the world population
without literacy competencies and skills lives in these 35 countries. The
majority of them are girls and women.
In Asia and the Pacific, the nine (9) countries participating in the LIFE initiative
are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan
and Papua New Guinea. These countries undertook preparatory work during
2005 to produce their respective Country Profiles, which cover literacy status,
policies, strategies and practices.
The Asia-Pacific Regional Planning Meeting on LIFE was organized by
UNESCO’s Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education in close co-operation
with UNESCO’s Islamabad Office and UNESCO Headquarters. The Meeting
was held at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Islamabad, Pakistan, from March 20-22,
2006. The purpose of the meeting was to assist LIFE countries with the
organization of preparatory activities for implementing the LIFE initiative.
