The Uganda Rural Literacy and Community Development Association (URLCODA) was founded in 2009 by the Uganda Community Libraries Association (UgCLA).

The Education Model for Life and Work (Modelo Educación para la Vida y el Trabajo, MEVyT) is an innovative basic education model for youth and adult learners in Mexico. The programme is a cooperative effort of the National Institute of Adult Education (INEA) and Federal States Adult Education Institutions (IEEAs) and was launched in 2001. It offers an opportunity for youths and adults who do not have sufficient formal education to renew their studies through distance education and other means of learning. Participating in the programme gives the learners an opportunity to obtain accredited and officially recognized 6th- and 9th-grade qualifications. The key component of the programme is literacy learning combined with skills training, creating a flexible model of autonomous learning. It offers not only basic modules on language and certain skills but also special modules designed for disadvantaged social groups, promoting inclusivity. In addition to developing basic and essential skills and facilitating individual development, as well as building an inclusive community, it aims to promote gender equality, raise awareness of human rights and strengthen humanistic values that ensure good citizenship (UIL, 2016).
