MINUSMA Implements Literacy Project in Gao

The Peace Through Adult Literacy programme, run by the Association for Literacy in Songhai and Tamasheq (AALST), has been organizing classes in French, Songhai and Tamasheq in Gao, Mali. Currently more than one hundred adult men and women benefit from these courses.
The centre operates with the support of the academy and its partners, with three classrooms constructed and equipped by the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), with the aim to bring about a change in the local population's perception of the Mission's mandate.
