Abstract

While adult literacy programs are considered as a potentially important vehicle to improve literacy and numeracy skills, their impact on the livelihoods of the rural poor in an integrated approach is less focused. Thus, this research examined the contributions of adult literacy in the Integrated Functional Adult Education (IFAE) program for the enhancement of livelihoods. Embedded mixed method design was used where data were obtained from structured interviews conducted with 235 participants and semi-structured interviews performed with 24 respondents. The results revealed that the program had positive roles in the family life, economic issues, and social issues of the participants’ livelihoods. Therefore, setting up a directive approach for better contributions of the program is imperative.
