| Abstract | WFP, Food for Education and its diverse set of food based interventions play a particular role in increasing school enrolment and attendance while decreasing gender disparity and drop out rates. 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 illustrates the development of the adult literacy between 1980 and 2000 as changes in percent. |
| Supplemental Information | The adult literacy rate is the number of literate persons aged 15 and above, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that age group.
Data source: World Bank under the Food for Education Global Atlas Initiative.

| Purpose | The Global Atlas tool aims to improve the targeting process and help identify areas where Food for Education can be most effective in order to prioritise interventions. |
