- Description:
- As a way of eradicating illiteracy globally, UNESCO declared 1990 as the International Literacy Year (ILY). This is because about 963 million adults are still illiterate all over the world and this colossal figure can inhibit development effort in each of the countries concerned. Since most developing countries of Africa do not have less than a 60% illiteracy rate, efforts must be intensified to drastically reduce this figure. Education the world over is a strong weapon of social change, a bedrock of national socioeconomic development and an instrument for breaking the backdrop of oppression, ignorance, victimisation and perpetual dependence. This paper analyses the roles which a Continuing Education Programme (CEP) could play in assisting with the individual's growth and development in any society. A general overview of the modus operandi of the CEP in Nigeria is made and used as a signpost for stimulating educational advancement in Lesotho. This is with a view to improve not only the failure rate of students at the COSC examinations but also as a means of adequately integrating the illiterate returning adult miners into society through the provision of viable functional and vocational education. Recommendations are made as to the modalities of effectively conducting Continuing Education Programmes, in particular for the institutions that are supposedly charged with the responsibilities of organising non-formal education programmes in Lesotho. One hopes that the detailed analysis regarding the methodology of CEP could even be adopted and/or adapted by other developing countries of Africa as a way of stimulating educational development and thus eradicating illiteracy and ignorance.

- Description:
- The development of institutionalized voluntary sector or the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Africa is a complementary response to the shortfall in public sector provision. But that development was made possible because of the existence of communitarian principles of advocacy, obligation and responsibility, already practised in the extended family before the arrival of the European Christian missions. The success of foreign NGGs is due to the management principles of openness, accountability and non-distributiveness demonstrated in their operations. It is proposed that African NGOs should apply their communitarian principles to these management principles so as to become more responsive to the needs of their people. In this way African NGGs will be able to tap into their local resource base to fund more good causes as well as contributing towards an inclusive and sustainable bottom-up democratic welfare system.

- Description:
- AIDS, which was first diagnosed in Uganda in 1983, has since reached epidemic proportions, with approximately 1,5 million persons estimated to be infected by 1991. Although the government of Uganda with several collaborating organisations has commenced a comprehensive programme of preventive education and services, patterns of sexual behaviour, unless changed, threaten to facilitate the further spread of HIV. Social work professionals have adopted a broad range of activities in varying organisations in beginning efforts involved in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS. Furtherinvolvementmay be related to the extentthat the social aspects of the disease are given heightened attention by the policy-makers in Uganda.
