Nali\u2019bali revised some of its supplements content and its distribution, by increasing the number of supplements we distributed to schools and reading clubs, where 95% of supplement recipients make use of the it. We also increased delivery via the SA Post Office, the effectiveness of which will be evaluated in 2019.<\/p>\n\t<p>Overall, the external evaluation concluded that Nali\u2019bali\u2019s supplement is an impactful and cost-effective resource in promoting literacy development in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>We will integrate these findings into our strategy for 2019. Subsequent actions have included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Redesign and reformatting of key pages<\/li>\n<li>Shifting the supplement from inclusion in the Sunday Times to the Sowetan which is distributed the following areas Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, North West and Limpopo.<\/li>\n<li>Further increasing the Post Office role in distribution.<\/li>\n<li>Exploring partnership opportunities with a community newspaper group to distribute the supplement via community papers and\/or African language newspapers.<\/li>\n<li>Introducing new eligibility criteria for FUNda Leaders and subscription periods for partner organisations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<p><em>Since inception, the supplement has been produced by our founder and partner, PRAESA.
