The programmes executed by the NMLC in 2009
included the conduct of a comprehensive literacy
survey across the country to provide statistical
data on literacy levels and challenges; focus areas
for effective planning and evaluation of literacy
projects; and the Literacy by Radio programme.
This programme, aired at designated intervals, has
been hailed as highly beneficial and successful,
with a capacity of reaching wide audience at the
same time. It has also resulted in the reduction in
the spread of diseases, enhanced poverty reduction
efforts, and reduced political and religious
violence as well as ethnic and communal conflicts.
