Poverty was the symptom of a global environment plagued by inequality, and the fight against poverty required a global alliance based on shared responsibility, cooperation and solidarity.

The recommendations of the Presidential Committee led to the creation later that year of the National Forum on Information Literacy, a coalition of more than 90 national and international organizations.
