SUMMARY:Literacy\, capabilities & empowerment in Mozambique
DESCRIPTION:5 March 12:00-13:30 GMT\nJoin the British Association for Liter
 acy in Development (BALID) for an informal literacy discussion led by Ana 
 Mlambo\, drawing from MICAIA's literacy &amp\; numeracy approach with a st
 rong focus on gender transformation &amp\; sustainability.\nREGISTER HERE\
 nMicaia has been working with rural communities in Manica province\, Mozam
 bique for 5 years supporting women’s groups in to engage in income gener
 ating activities including the collection and sale of baobab fruit to a co
 mmunity enterprise company working exclusively with women\, in the norther
 n part of the province. The women approached Micaia asking for support in 
 developing literacy skills 3 years ago. Initially\, Micaia directed them t
 o the education department provision\, however\, it soon became clear they
  needed a programme tailored to their specific needs and aspirations.\nThi
 s was the start of embedding literacy and numeracy into the Micaia capabil
 ities programme\, and from there expanding it across other programme areas
 . The approach selected is based on real literacies and numeracies\, with 
 a strong focus on gender transformation and sustainability. Micaia’s app
 roach to literacy and numeracy continues to develop\, with the publication
  of a toolkit for facilitators and story booklet in progress. Micaia is al
 so piloting some innovative ways of measuring the impact of the literacy i
 nitiative.\nThe learning curve has been steep for all with significant cha
 llenges along the way. The achievements have been inspirational\, resultin
 g in changes in relationships and livelihoods\, which Ana will highlight t
 hrough case studies and stories.
