The Global Alliance for Literacy Annual General Meeting 2023

In line with this year’s International Literacy Day theme, the meeting will be centred around the topic of "Literacy for Peaceful Societies". Progress on advancing literacy in the 30 GAL member countries, with a particular emphasis on those operating in crisis-affected regions, will be on the agenda. The goal is to encourage dialogue and collaboration among GAL members, recognizing the vital role that literacy plays in promoting peace and stability, social and economic reconstruction, and development. 

The meeting is by invitation only.
