| East Africa Four Literacies |
| |
The East Africa Four Literacies Programme is a partnership of organisations from Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Somaliland and the UK. The six year programme was developed by WOMANKIND Worldwide in consultation with its partners.
The overall aim is to address women's vulnerability and marginal status and improve the rights of East African women, through a 'Four Literacies' programme targeting body literacy, money literacy, word literacy and civil literacy:

Within the focus on discrimination against women, each year of the six year programme concentrates on a different theme:
Year One: Female Genital Mutilation
Year Two: Early and Forced Marriage and Marriage by Abduction
Year Three: Education of women and girls
Year Four: Economic entitlements
Year Five: Civil Participation
Year Six: Violence against women
A yearly planning meeting is organised for all partners on order to review the programmes progress and plan its future activities. The first meeting was held in Khartoum, Sudan in 2000, the second in Cairo, Egypt in 2001, the third in Eldoret, Kenya in 2002 and the most recent in Addis Abba, Ethiopia in 2003.
