L'Education des adultes: quel rôle pour les sociétés civiles en Afrique? (Adult Education: What Role does Civil Society Play in Africa?)

The world has undergone major transformations in the course of the century now coming to a close, which have served to change humankind’s global environment, physically, socially, environmentally, politically and culturally, in spite of a number of negative forces at play. Notwithstanding the accompanying questions and doubts, the scientific research and discoveries that have gone hand in hand with these transformations are growing in significance and are indisputably benefiting humanity as a whole. Unfortunately, however, a large minority of the world’s population remains unable to independently participate in or organize real change. This minority seems cut off from all of these realities. Africa, for example, constitutes one body that must lead the battle for change from within in order to enable all of its populations to enter the third millennium with far greater confidence and success. It has the means because the resources – both material and human – exist, although political and social uncertainties are hindering their development. We shall therefore be referring to this Africa where effective implementation strategies are needed to manage a wealth of productive forces that will take on the developmental challenge by means of education and research, which in turn will enable Africa to take a decisive step towards reconstruction.
