Why RAMAA Is Important for Literacy: Testimonies From Participating Countries; Action Research on Measuring Literacy Programme Participants’ Learning Outcomes (RAMAA)

The RAMAA action research, launched at the initiative of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL), and piloted in partnership with local UNESCO offices, responds to this vital need to assess the quality of literacy programmes by taking the learning effectively acquired by the beneficiaries at the end of their training as an objective variable.

The first phase of RAMAA involved five countries, now twelve countries are participating in the second phase of RAMAA – Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Morocco, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Chad and Togo. The countries’ commitment throughout the implementation of the second phase of RAMAA and the integration of the results into the national systems are key to the project.
