dc.descriptionThis paper highlights the shift from conventional, teacher-led training to a participatory, problem-solving approach at the village level. Based on experiments in Dar es Salaam, it focuses on training as a tool for empowerment rather than just knowledge transfer. The example of a Youth Development Project in Tanzania is used. It stresses involving local people in planning and decision-making. Training is viewed as a means of awareness-building and reducing social inequality.
dc.description.abstractTraining has been given a high priority in most development programmes. Most training programmes continue to be based on the principle of a transfer of knowledge from the teacher (or trainer) to the student or trainee and consequently most training institutes run on this principle. This paper aims at giving a few practical suggestions for a problem-oriented village-level approach to training. It is based on the experiments gained in a few experimental research projects with University students in Dar es Salaam. A Youth Development Project is given as an example.
