Community empowerment through enhanced literacy

Initial steps

Particular attention was given to rural areas, and the density of unemployment, poverty and consequent illiteracy figures were identified and clarified. It was resolved to try and address rural conditions through the programme so that people would be reaffirmed and developed as self-sufficient and productive citizens where their home communities had emerged historically.

Attempts would be made to address such other matters as health including AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, with developments in health also achieved through the literary focus of the programme.
