Abstract
This scoping review synthesises 87 studies (2010–2025) on community-led literacy interventions across sub-Saharan Africa. We map programme typologies, theoretical framings, and reported outcomes, identifying a strong evidence base for early-grade reading gains but persistent gaps in measuring sustainability and longer-term transfer. We propose a research agenda emphasising longitudinal design and community-centred outcome measures.
