IRS990/Description02011 SAW THE LAUNCH OF LITERACY BRIDGE'S MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH PROGRAM IN TEN COMMUNITIES IN THE WA MUNICIPAL AND JIRAPA DISTRICTS OF THE UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA, REACHING APPROXIMATELY 10,000 PEOPLE. USING AN ITERATIVE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS, LITERACY BRIDGE HAS BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH GHANA HEALTH SERVICE TO PRODUCE CONTENT FOR THE TALKING BOOK THAT TARGETS THE REAL-TIME NEEDS OF IMPOVERISHED MOTHERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND IS EFFECTIVE IN PRODUCING POSITIVE BEHAVIOR CHANGES IN HEALTH AND FARMING PRACTICES. LITERACY BRIDGE ALSO LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP WITH A MULTI-GROUP COOPERATIVE, CALLED EMPOWERING COCOA HOUSEHOLDS THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES AND EDUCATION SOLUTIONS (ECHOES). FUNDED BY USAID AND THE WORLD COCOA FOUNDATION, ECHOES STRIVES TO STRENGTHEN COCOA-GROWING GHANAIAN COMMUNITIES BY EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS THROUGH RELEVANT EDUCATION. THE ECHOES-TALKING BOOK TEAM INCLUDED LITERACY BRIDGE, WINROCK INTERNATIONAL, AND WORLD EDUCATION. LITERACY BRIDGE WORKED HAND-IN-HAND WITH WINROCK AND WORLD EDUCATION ON A PILOT PROGRAM THAT FOCUSED ON THE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF COCOA FARMERS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE VOCATIONAL TRAINING, YOUTH LIVELIHOODS, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. TALKING BOOKS WERE INTEGRATED WITH EXISTING ACTIVITIES THAT INCLUDED FUNCTIONAL LITERACY LESSONS FOR OUT-OF-SCHOOL TEENS AND ADULTS, AND DISSEMINATION OF NEW HEALTH AND AGRICULTURE GUIDANCE THROUGH CLUBS, PUBLIC FORUMS, AND HOUSEHOLD ROTATION OF TALKING BOOKS. THE PILOT PROGRAM FOCUSED ON THREE COMMUNITIES IN THE SEFWI-WIAWSO DISTRICT OF THE WESTERN REGION OF GHANA, REACHING MORE THAN 3,000 PEOPLE. 2011 ALSO SAW THE EXPANSION OF THE WOMEN IN AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION PROGRAM IN NINE COMMUNITIES IN THE WA AND JIRAPA MUNICIPALITIES. LITERACY BRIDGE WORKED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VSO AND GHANA'S MINISTRY OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE TO RAMP UP PROJECT TO TRAIN WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE ACTIVITIES. OVER THE YEARS, AGRICULTURE EXTENSION STAFF HAD A HARD TIME PROVIDING WOMEN WITH TRAINING DURING THEIR VISITS BECAUSE WOMEN BUSY WITH THEIR HOUSEHOLD CHORES. THE EXPANSION SAW THE PROGRAM GROW FROM 15 TO 25 LEAD VOLUNTEERS WHO WERE TRAINED ON THE USE OF THE TALKING BOOK AND RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE TO WOMEN GROUPS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE ON- DEMAND NATURE OF THE TALKING BOOK FARMING MESSAGES ENABLED WOMEN TO LEARN BEST FARMING PRACTICES WITHOUT ANY CONSTRAINTS. THEY WERE ALSO ABLE TO LEARN RABBIT-REARING AND TIE-DYING AS METHODS OF PRODUCING ADDITIONAL INCOME FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
