- Description:
- This paper gives an overview of the kind of community development projects that the Malawi Social Action Fund (MASAF) has supported since its inception in July 1996. The MASAF has tended to subscribe to a demand-driven approach in its evaluation of projects, thereby introducing an element of competition in community development. This has led to imbalances in socio-economic infrastructure, betwecn those districts whose communities have been unable to initiate their own projects, and those where there is more sophisticated "development-conscious" leadership. Ways in which more equitable and effective grassroots development can be implemented are presented in this paper, where the author believes that nongovernmental development agencies in particular, have a positive role to play.

- Description:
- This paper describes an experimental literacy programme for the disabled, set up in Kano, Nigeria between 1989 and 1990. The programme's objective was to help the destitutes to overcome some of their socio-economic drawbacks. The programme took off with the enrolment of 450 people. At the end of the programme, 380 participants or 84.4% sat for and passed the qualifying examination. As expected, 70 people from among the neoliteratcs found jobs in the Civil Service bureaucracy, while 250 or 55.5% were able to continue their education in the postliteracy programmes organised by the State Agency for Mass Education. However, the lack of funds, inadequate professional preparation of the instructors, and discontinuity of the programme limited its potentially wider impact. It is therefore advocated that multi-lateral and international donor bodies such as the British Council, UNICEF and UNDP should provide fiscal assistance to such programmes, in order to create a basis for promoting greater global equity.
