Addressing
the gap between urban and rural
illiteracy November 25, 2004 -
Representatives from more than 100
non-governmental and civil society organizations
from developed and developing countries, senior
officials from the Italian Development Cooperation
programme and experts from FAO, UNESCO and other
international organizations have agreed on
strengthening their cooperation in order to
address the basic education needs of the world's
biggest neglected majority: rural people. A
partnership project will raise public awareness in
Europe on the importance of education for rural
people in poor countries and the urgent need to
target rural areas where over 70 percent of the
world's poor are caught in the vicious circle of
being unable to access the services and
opportunities that might take them out of poverty.
The project, discussed at a three-day meeting
(15-17 November) is co- financed by the European
Commission, several European NGOs, FAO and UNESCO.
