Establishing literate environments and continuous learning programs is therefore essential for consolidating the skills acquired by newly literate individuals. This webinar will highlight concrete experiences from Mali and Côte d'Ivoire regarding strategies, programs, and learning spaces that promote the consolidation of literacy and adult education skills.

Date: May 13, 2026
Time: 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (GMT)

Speakers:

Mr. Diakaridia Diarra, Deputy National Director of Non-Formal Education and National Languages, Mali
