Community (CPLP)”, organised by the World Bank and the Portuguese
Caloust Gulbenkian Foundation, taking place from 27 to 28 June,

The minister added that new programmes have been appearing, which
are turned to the socialisation of thousands of youths, who during
the armed conflict were out of their social and cultural environment.
"Solidarity, spirit of tolerance and acceptance of difference

it is necessary to elaborate strategies to give a response to the
post-war challenges", he said.

literacy re-launching programme for children, youths and adults,
as a component to recover the delay in the educational performance.
