The Uganda Rural Literacy and Community Development Association (URLCODA) was founded in 2009 by the Uganda Community Libraries Association (UgCLA). The community aims to provide information services via publications and special activities targeted at the needs of local populations. Most of the initiatives aim to promote literacy and are planned to be relevant to a set of predetermined objectives.

As Thailand ranks second in having the most rapidly growing ageing population, the Cheongdoi municipality decided to take necessary steps to care for and provide development opportunities for its elderly population. With a very limited time to prepare a response to demographic change, all sectors require economic and social restructuring and enhanced collaboration to address the needs of an elderly society (Punyakaew et al., 2019).

Lifelong learning villages are an initiative implemented in Mali by a French non-government organization Jeunesse et Développement, enabling young adults to participate in global development projects, with support from the British Embassy, the Stromme Foundation, Mali Development Group, the Methodist Relief and Development Fund, and DVV International. The establishment of vocational training and learning circles within the villages referred to as VITAL (‘Villages de l’Apprentissage Tout Au Long de la Vie’, French for ‘Villages of Learning Throughout Life’) aimed to increase the level of literacy and provide knowledge and skills that would benefit the local population (UIL, 2015).
