National Adult Literacy Database

This report incorporates both formative and process evaluation elements. It documents what has happened in this initial planning phase of the Manukau Family Literacy project, the issues that have arisen in its development, how these were resolved and offers some observations about why it has achieved what it has to date. It also includes a brief literature review of research in this area that has been used in guiding the programme's development.

This evaluation has been approved by the Human Subjects Ethics Committee of The University of Auckland (Reference 2002/230). A second stage evaluation proposal is currently being considered by COMET for the second phase of the MFLP, which will cover the programmes once they are underway.
