The experience shows traditional culture is strong, despite its minority status, which has nonetheless revitalized the cultural context, and enhanced literacy education in native languages. ARED undertook efforts to publish, and disseminate textbooks, either written in, or translated into native languages, including French texts, covering subjects from literacy manuals, stories and novels, to the development of civil society, and treaties on local knowledge, and traditional practices, or religions. ARED's high points include deciphering the needs for such enterprise, based on strong institutional capacity in accounting and management, and, ironically, the information revolution has simplified, and sustained publication in African languages. 2017-11-29T23:35:37Z 2017-11-29T23:35:37Z 2001-11 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/533551468305671696/Senegal-indigenous-language-and-literature-as-a-non-profit-business-the-ARED-story http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28898 English IK Notes;No. 38 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief Africa Senegal
