Vital Connections:
Linking Women's Literacy Programs
and Reproductive Health Services
 Developed
by World Education in conjunction
with John Snow, Inc.’s
Family Planning Service Expansion
and Technical Support (SEATS)
Project
This handbook grew out of the Women's
Literacy Initiative, an effort that
worked to create new and stronger
links among women's literacy programs,
the local and international agencies
that sponsor them, and the international
family planning and reproductive
health community. The book builds
the case for establishing an integrated
health/literacy program and offers
steps to do so. It responds to the
Programme of Action of the 1994 International
Conference on Population and Development
(ICPD) and the
1995 Fourth World Conference on Women
by reinforcing calls to eradicate
illiteracy and promote gender equity.
The intended audience for this document
includes managers in organizations
offering literacy courses or reproductive
health services, policymakers, donors,
and others involved in community
work to promote informed decision
making among women. (1999)
