The Global Atlas tool is an outcome of a joint initiative between the units of VAM and School Feeding which tries to improve the targeting process and help identify areas where Food for Education can be most effective. Part of this tool are a multi-thematic geo-referenced database and maps. The map shows the adult literacy rate in WFP countries, which is the numnber of literate persons aged 15 and above, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that age group.
