| description |
The note examines methods for grassroots
dissemination, from results of African research on the
themes of decentralization and local capacity building, but
in a manner that would include both the disseminators, and
targeted audiences, to critique the studies, analyzing
related experiences, and drawing practical policy
conclusions. The project "Achieving Basic Education and
Literacy" (ABEL), was based on studies conducted
between 1996-98 by teams of African researchers in an
innovative approach - subcontracting - on a series of
topics, drawn from priority research targets, established by
the Association for the Development of Education in Africa
(ADEA), basically a consortium of African Ministers of
Education, and donor agencies. Subjects included the
acquisition of skills in the informal sector; practical uses
of Koranic literacy; means of building competencies in
women's cooperatives; new formulas for nongovernmental
organizations-government cooperation in education; and,
experiments in informal primary schooling. Results from
Benin are presented as a case study: only twenty one percent
of member entities were women-directed enterprises. Efforts
of self-evaluation stirred neighboring countries to identify
reasons preventing achievement of autonomy: lack of
training, and weak financial management. This approach
evolved into a means for social marketing, action research,
and innovation dissemination. This style of dissemination
was also developed in other countries, and it is creating a
favorable environment for policy decisions, and forms of collaboration. |
