The United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) was founded on 16 November 1945. UNESCO has 195 Members and eight Associate Members. It is governed by the General Conference and the Executive Board. The Secretariat, headed by the Director-General, implements the decisions of these two bodies. The Organization has more han 50 field offices around the world.
UNESCO has consistently supported the need for researching and promoting literacy projects, programmes and campaigns with a developmental aim, in the context of its commitment to life long education. The commitment of UNESCO to adult learning and the leading role it has played in the promotion of adult education has been in clear evidence over the last five decades. The Fifth International Conference on Adult Education held in Hamburg, Germany in July, 1997 marked a turning point for adult learning and for the role expected to be played by UNESCO and its member-countries in this fast growing field. It demonstrated the extent to which adult education has become the key to the future. The new concept of adult education presents a challenge to existing practices because it calls for effective networking within the formal and non-formal systems, and for innovation, creativity and flexibility. Adult literacy, broadly conceived as the basic knowledge and skills needed by all in a rapid changing world, is a fundamental right.
