Literacy rates, survey estimates vs. official UNESCO estimates
The demographic and health survey (DHS) estimate captures the share of adults surveyed who can read a whole or part of a sentence shown to them. The official UNESCO estimate corresponds to the share of adults who say they can read and write a short, simple statement about their everyday lives.
