1. Strengths and weaknesses of literacy Programme implementation capacities
Networks and coordination mechanism established
Programmes have been provided but not the human resources
Coordination and organizational level capacity can be seen in establishing coordination at national level
but at grassroots level such capacity is lacking
Guidelines for implementing literacy programmes for various levels including curriculum
Capacity is lacking at grassroots level in designing, contextualizing literacy programmes
Training programmes for literacy personnel at various levels have been developed ( managers + facilitators)
Mobilizing local networking at remote areas for the literacy programme implementation
Locally developed supplementary materials developed to reflect learners needs
Capacity gaps at different levels
Lack of capacity in designing local curriculum and learning materials at grassroots level
Quality training and monitoring

2. Ways to strengthen these capacities
Update capacity needs in literacy ( organizational, institutional, individual etc.)
Involving universities and NGOs for capacity building activities
Include local curriculum and design literacy programmes close to learners in facilitator’s training
Development of guidelines/manuals to develop learning materials/contents at local levels
Need to develop pool of experts/trainers at sub national and local level

3. Sustainability
Develop pool of experts/trainers at sub national and local levels
Sustain flow of funding
Developing mindset literacy issues are long term. It should not be considered as a stop gap measure
Institutional capacity building at sub national level ( increase staff, guidelines etc.)
Developing distance learning programmes for facilitators and other literacy personnel using various medias- radio( use of ICT, increase access)
All the stakeholders in literacy programmes, implementation, monitoring etc. should be oriented
Making the programme high visibility
Creating and enrich literate environment to promote and sustain literacy activities

How the networks have been used to strengthen literacy implementation?
