"Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, has awarded the 2024 International
Literacy Prizes to six exceptional literacy programmes from Austria, Egypt,
Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Panama. Selected based on the recommendations of
an international jury, these initiatives were singled out for their remarkable
contributions to advancing global literacy.
These awards were presented during the International Literacy Day celebrations
hosted on 9 September in Yaoundé, Cameroon at the initiative of the President
of the Republic of Cameroon, Paul Biya.
This year’s theme, ‘Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual
understanding and peace’ underscores that not only multilingual approaches are
instrumental in developing literacy competencies; it also supports
intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and peace.
Since 1967, UNESCO's International Literacy Prizes have rewarded more than 500
individuals, organizations and institutions for the excellence, innovation and
impact of their field initiatives to advance literacy worldwide."
