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 coordinates and supplies all the required data and statistics to the literacy working group, helping the Global Literacy Office staff keep track of all the literacy projects in a comprehensive and systematic manner.  

The focus in 2025 is to continue to develop regional strategies based on the UBS Position Paper on Literacy and provide effective assistance to literacy work carried out in the French and Spanish-speaking Bible Societies. Activities of the Literacy Officers will include publishing newsletters to promote literacy work, assisting in Bible engagement efforts, coordinating online and onsite literacy training events, and analysing research related to literacy and language. Additionally, they will monitor current literacy programs and provide secretarial support to the Global Literacy Coordinator, all to help elevate global literacy coordination within Bible Societies. 

Since January 2010, the United Bible Society (UBS) Global Literacy Coordination team have been working to help Bible Societies around the world meet the literacy needs of their people.  

The entire UBS Fellowship benefits from this project, which has the potential to impact up to 750 million adult non-literates globally. The activities undertaken by the two part-time Literacy Officers will take the global literacy coordination work of Bible Societies to new heights in the coming years.
