Abstract	This report provides materials from the second meeting of the International Task Force on Literacy (ITFL), which focused on specific goals and targets for nongovernmental organization (NGO) mobilization for 1990, International Literacy Year (ILY). Section 2 discusses issues that emerged as central to work in literacy, including literacy, democracy, and empowerment; images of literacy and the illiterate; technical/pedagogical goals versus political/ideological goals; role of teachers in literacy; illiteracy in industrialized countries; women's experiences of literacy; Unesco's vital role in literacy; how high a priority literacy really is; literacy actions by NGOs; and a research agenda for literacy. Section 3 summarizes these reports to the Task Force: International Council for Adult Education Needs Assessment Survey of Member Associations, a project proposal for a video-based resource package linking the theme of peace to literacy; a proposal to create a special book for ILY written by literacy learners; and proposals to educate and mobilize world public opinion about literacy through the arts. Chapter 4 sets forth the framework of a common strategy for ILY. Components are identified for five broad areas: creating public awareness, creating and strengthening literacy structures, stimulating a "great debate" on literacy, encouraging literacy research and evaluation, and ITFL Coordinating Office activities. Outlines of plans of action of international NGOs prior to, during, and beyond ILY 1990 are appended. (YLB)
