| Submission declined on 23 August 2024 by Ktkvtsh (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The National Adult Literacy Agency (Irish: Aisineacht Naisiunta Litearthachta d'Aosaigh),[1] also known as NALA, is a non-profit organisation in Ireland.[2] It is categorised as a public body in Outsourcing Government.[3] NALA aims to help lower adult illiteracy rates[4] by collaborating with various Government departments and State agencies at a national level to create and execute policies to improve the circumstances of individuals facing challenges in literacy or numeracy. Their goal is to bring about improvements for these individuals. It is a voluntary body.[5] Additionally, assistance is provided by the National Adult Literacy Agency to adults who experience challenges with literacy due to dyslexia.[6] In 1993, it was described as "a policy making, planning, training and research body which has been instrumental in the development of an E.E.C. policy on measures to combat illiteracy in the European Community."[7]
NALA is registered as a lobbying body.[8] It is also membership-based, with a combined total of 2,315 individual and organisation/corporate members as of 2023.[9] Documents pertaining to NALA are stored in the National Library of Ireland.[10] According to NALA's website, its patron is President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins.[11]
