In 2023, the UBS is launching a new Global Literacy Strategy – proposing four years of action. The goals of this project are to provide continued assistance to the global literacy work of Bible Society, strengthening the various activities of the global literacy office. This project will coordinate and supply all the required data and statistics to the literacy working group and provide effective assistance to literacy work carried out in the French and Spanish speaking Bible Societies.

In 2023, through this project, the United Bible Societies (UBS) will continue to provide support to Bible Societies worldwide in their literacy work, as well as expanding that support for French and Spanish speaking Bible Societies. They hope to fund two part-time Literacy Offers to assist the Literacy Coordinator, and aim for both of the support staff to join in one international planning meetings on literacy.

The entire UBS Fellowship benefits from this project – with the potential to impact up to 750 million adult non-literates globally. There will be two part-time Literacy Officers assisting in the global literacy office, and all the activities they undertake will mean that the global literacy coordination work of Bible Societies will be taken to new heights in the coming year.
