A program to train literacy providers to help empower women was developed with funding from the United Nations Development Program. The training program is based on a manual titled "Educate to Empower." The manual, which is designed to train material developers to prepare gender-sensitive learning kits on various topics related to empowerment, is the culmination of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) experience in conducting regional workshops in Asia and dozens of national workshops on the same theme. The manual guides literacy providers through the process of producing their own learning kits and training others (in a 3-week training program) to produce similar kits. The major components of the training program and manual are gender issues, work skills, and literacy and numeracy. Workshop participants are sensitized to gender issues through individual and group examinations of their own attitudes, values, and beliefs in a nonthreatening environment. Work (especially the practical skills needed by women in individual developing nations) and literacy and numeracy are emphasized throughout the training program because of their importance to women's integrity and sense of self-worth. Workshop participants are also guided through a step-by-step process for translating empowerment into learning materials. (MN).
