It was carried out by Oxfam\u00a0Denmark July &#8211; September 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study sought to explore if literacy activities, when implemented as integrated interventions with livelihoods, gender, protection and\/or community engagement and empowerment activities would contribute to achievement of greater collective outcomes. The report affirms this and suggests on broader scale, literacy skills could contribute not only to gender equity but also enhanced humanitarian action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfam.symbiotisk.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/oxfamibis-rlicc-sep-report-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download report <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-826\" style=\"width: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/oxfam.symbiotisk.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/download.svg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"1032\" src=\"https:\/\/oxfam.symbiotisk.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/ny-rapport-reframing-literacy-crisis-context-02.jpg\" alt=\"Reframing Literacy In Crisis Context -
