The aim of the Senegal Pilot Female
Literacy Project was to raise the literacy rates of
populations in Dakar and the more developed areas and, most
importantly, to remote areas that cannot be reached via
traditional mass literacy campaigns. The pilot, begun in
1995 and concluded in 2000, was designed to support the
Senegalese government in strengthening efforts through
partnership with other groups to raise national literacy
rates, particularly for women, beyond the currently stagnant
pre-pilot levels of approximately 40 percent. This was to
offset the failure of traditional mass literacy campaigns
instituted since the 1960s-programs which were only in the
French language, not well-adapted to the local situation,
and characterized by a lack of post-literacy reading
materials. The broad development objectives of the pilot
were to (a) improve education sector goals by providing
literacy to both urban and rural populations, (b) raise
literacy rates beyond current levels, especially for women,
(c) to empower local women with the capacity to improve
their standard of living through providing them with
relevant skills through education and (d) strengthen the
enabling environment for primary school education. |
