This strategy presents GAL’s vision, mission, goals and objectives for the period from 2020 to 2025. It builds upon GAL’s achievements from 2016 and 2019, and upon UNESCO’s previous initiatives supporting youth and adult literacy, including the UN Literacy Decade (2003–2012), Literacy Initiative for Empowerment (LIFE) from 2006 to 2015, and the 2015 Recommendation on Adult Learning and Education (RALE).
