The Community Literacy Project Nepal (CLPN) site
offers a guide to the project's work across different sectors
to improve literacy activities in an effective and sustainable
way. CLPN is funded by DFID, and managed locally by
World Education Nepal.
CLPN aims to work with local organisations
to support programmes designed to improve literacy, communication
and access to information; much of its work can be described
under the heading 'literacy for livelihoods'. The project
works across the sectors of community forestry, 'official
literacies', micro-finance and agriculture and involves helping
women and men in developing the different uses of reading,
writing and numeracy that they need in their daily life. CLPN's
focus is on learning in and for use; it operates by responding
to people's expressed needs and aspirations and does not hand-down
a fixed curriculum to community people. The project is funded
by DFID, and managed locally in Nepal by World Education Nepal.
The
CLPN site aims to enable national literacy agencies and NGOs
to learn from CLPN practionners experience and to assist interested
organisations in 'bridging the gap' between the classroom
learning and its wider social context. It details training
activities, project activities and provides downloads for
curricula used in its projects.
