    Network as an Instrument for Sterngthening Adult Education Movement
    (Society for Participatory Research in Asia, 1987-07) Tandon, Rajesh
    The last decade has been a significant one in modern human history in many ways. A large number of socio-economic and political problems facing humanity have surfaced dramatically: hunger, famine, illiteracy, war, apartheid, ecological degradation, exploitation of women, etc. The response of the World Community to these problems can be categorized in two broad streams. The first, more widespread and resource-packed response has been from the governments of the South and North, and inter-governmental institutions. This response has been largely inadequate in solving any of the above problems, despite backed by massive resources and large delivery mechanisms comprising of administrative frameworks and organizations,. The second response, more humble and sparse, less resourceful and visible, sporadic, interttent, has come from what has broadly come to be called the Non-govern-mental sector and teachers; individuals, groups, small organizations. These are students church and temple inspired philanthropists: grass-roots educators in villages and barrios; voluntary organizations, research and training institutions, individual activists, trade unionists, professionals (lawyers, engineers, doctors, nurses, etc.) a whole range of ordinary people in our countries.

    The first component is the self-concept of the adult learner. The essential principle concept and contributes towards it. If the self-concept of a learner is low, the learner thinks that he/she is incapable, weak, inexperienced, does not know anything, ingnorant, powerless etc. This is the reflection of a weak self-concept and this self-concept, himself/herself and conditioned exploitation. by his/her circumstances, is also marginalization and Therefore, one of the first principles of adult learning suggests that helping the learners to build their self-concept, to regain their self-concept is important in facilitating learning of adults. Once they overcome self-concept, contribute their weak once they recognize that they have something to and learn, that they are capable, that they are of worth, then it becomes easier for them to learn. full Similarly, when adults learn, it strengthens their self-concept, and this is in the meaning of empowerment through learning. Empowerment the sense potential, learn. of my worth, my capacity, my concept of my self --my contribution, my occurs in adults when they Thus understanding of the self-concept, what conditions it, what weaken it, what conditions help to regain self-concept, build self-concept, empower one self, develop a sense worth of self-all these are necessary to understand for those of us concerned with facilitating the learning of other adults.

    (0000)
    The problem of weakness and vulnerability of communities in tribal areas has many facets. The environmental, technical and social factors are here locked into a spiral degradation of resources and quality of lite. "Those regions are constantly drained of their surplus in produce and deprived of their educated and skilled manpower. Progress to the extent it takes place proceeds along lines of individual gain preserving or improving the status of the well-off and further impoverishing the weak. For the rich and poor alike, the population pressure on land, water, pasture and forest resources had assumed proportions which are intolerable in terms of the future viability of these communities.

    Draft Annex to Technical Note on Participation: Measurung and Assessing Participation
    (0000)
    This annex discusses the identification and use of indicators for measuring and assessing participation in development projects. Checklists of quantitative and qualitative indicators are provided and their application in a limited number of examples is discussed, especially in relation to the project framework. For project frameworks (PFs), quantitative indicators which are also proxies for qualitative outcomes may be appropriate in some cases. The significance and meaning of these proxies can be elaborated in the main text of a project document. Building in specific time referents to indicators, and ensuring disaggregation of project target groups, can reduce their ambiguity, and direct project managers' attention to the phasing of participation.

Various theories and models of development have been propounded; various programmes and projects of development have been attempted. In the developing countries, search for developmental approaches has become more intense. Both the developed as well as the developing countries are engaged in large scale experimentation in this direction. To the extent that bulk of the developing countries are still, by and large, rural societies, most of the resources have flown into the area of rural development.
