30. According to a “Study on Access to Justice in Burkina Faso”, conducted by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights Promotion in September, 2012, the connection between persons subject to trial and the justice system was also given expression by the application of certain mitigating measures with regard to certain legal expenses. These measures particularly target the poorest strata of the population. The study also shows that civil society is involved in the area of legal assistance to the people through legal aid offices, legal clinics as well as counselling and guidance bodies. Depending on the type of case, CSOs are providing the people with counselling support, reception, guidance, voluntary assistance and financial assistance. 31. Efforts are being made to “educate” citizens by providing them with accurate and reassuring information on justice. However, due to persistence of certain phenomena like illiteracy, inadequacy of information on judicial procedures, poverty, etc. these efforts are inadequate and still unable to produce the expected results. Mindful of this state of affairs, the Government intends to strengthen the existing measures in order to fast track the attainment of the results expected from the implementation of the national justice policy. Strengthen literacy programmes for the benefit of the entire population 32. In 2011, the government adopted a national fast track literacy programme (PRONAA) which aimed at attaining a literacy rate of 60% by 2015. To achieve this, 14,509 literacy centres were opened during the 2011-2012 literacy year, as against 9,763 in 2010-2011. These measures were made possible through the increase in funding for non-formal education and the funding of 40 centres by UNICEF in the Ganzourgou and Namentenga provinces. The enrolment of learners is summarized as follows:  Learners under the non-formal adult education module Table 1: Enrolment Estimates for Literacy/Basic Training and Actual Figures 2009/2010 Levels AI/N1 FCB/N 2 2010/2011 2011/2012 Estima ted Differenti Estimat Actual al ed Differenti Estim al ated Actual 239 938 88124 -151 814 247 856 179042 -68 814 215 944 137801 -78 143 223 071 57561 -165 510 Actual 2012/2013 Est Differ im ential ate d Actual 143012 8 19065 104 715 127098 Sources : DEP/MENA/Memorandum on the ENF in Burkina Faso, January, 2010, DEP/MENA/Summary of the 2012-2013 Statistical Yearbook, DGAENF, ENF Provisional Report, 2012-2013 33. With regard to literacy/basic training (AI/N1 and FCB/N2), the enrolment estimates were never attained. For the 2010/2011 literacy year, the shortfall stood at 68,814 learners for the AI/N1 and 165,510 for FCB/N2. This shortfall is partly explained by the decrease in financing allocated to the National Literacy and Non-Formal Education Fund (FONAENF), hence the introduction of a new module called the chain module. 13 Differ ential
