Entre las aportaciones más interesantes está una lista de estrategias y acciones para favorecer la comunicación de la ALFIN, la integración en las políticas de UNESCO y en las políticas nacionales, el fomento de la colaboración con docentes y otros sectores, la integración en los distintos niveles de curriculum, la atención a la ALFIN en el campo de la salud comunitaria...
Transcribo algún fragmento también de interés:

What are People’s Needs?
• Information literacy is a concern to all sectors of society and should be tailored by each to meet its specific needs and context;
• Developing countries need to take a more proactive role in determining solutions most appropriate to their needs, as solutions for developed countries may be inappropriate;
• The 2005 EFA Report revealed there are 799 million adult illiterates and 64% of these are women;
•Information literacy enables people to access information about their health, their environment, their education and work;
•People require ICT literacy in order to access digital information; in information societies this is increasingly a necessary pre-condition for information literacy;

What Education Programmes are Needed?
• Recognise the migration from “unconscious incompetent” to “conscious incompetent” and only then to “conscious competent”;
• Critical need for an Information Literacy curriculum (at all levels) that is accepted by and implemented by Governments and education administrators;
• Educationalists need to change their focus from information technologies to information;
• Need to recognise that teachers are a barrier in creating more information literate students and therefore education programmes must be directed at them in the first instance;
• Opportunity for information literacy to become a cornerstone component in the delivery of programmes developed as part of the United Nations’ Decade for Literacy, especially for women and out-of-school girls
