African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research Mzumbe 2-7 July 1979 Tanzania.http://192.9.200.215:4000/handle/123456789/495This report highlights the importance of adult education in developing countries, particularly Tanzania, as a tool for solving key issues like illiteracy, health, and agriculture. It emphasizes people’s participation in all stages of development and critiques imported research methodologies. The Tanzanian approach supports participatory research as a more effective and inclusive method. The goal is to ensure that research genuinely benefits local communities.In developing countries we use adult education in an effort to solve basic problems of illiteracy, agriculture, health, and technology as well as in bringing about awareness among the people of political, economic and social problems with the prime objective of involving them fully in solving these problems. That is why in Tanzania we place a great emphasis on the need to make adult education a popular movement so as to facilitate full participation of the adult population in implementing national development programmes. For we believe that you cannot develop a man, but you can help him develop himself. Hence the importance of making him aware of his potentials and his role in bringing about the development he desires.enAdult EducationParticipatory ResearchTanzania Development ModelDevelopment ChallengesParticipatory ResearchTechnical Report
