MARAWI CITY -- The United States Agency for International Development (USAid) has launched a three-year adult literacy project here to improve the basic and functional literacy among adults in Lanao del Norte.
Dubbed "Literacy for Peace and Development (Lipad)," the project aims to provide adult learners with critical consciousness on conflict prevention and peacemaking as part of the learning process that will allow them to participate meaningfully in the fashioning of peace and development in their own communities.
Aquino Macarampat, Lipad Project provincial coordinator, said the project was simultaneously done in the five provinces of the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (Armm) last June 1.
In Lanao de Sur, Lipad was launched in Barangay Raya Buntong in Buadipuso-Buntong town, one of the four towns in the province identified to benefit from the project of the Magbassa Kita Foundation Inc. (MKFI).
