Contact Us Targeting and Equivalency Targeting When designing an Adult Literacy and Non Formal Education program to meet the needs of a community, the following factors need to be considered about a target population: Age The age groups eligible for adult basic and continuing education programs vary from country to country. In the case of the World Bank assisted programs, the range stretches from 15 to 45 years, but some countries accept learners as young as 12 years old and set no upper age limit. The composition of the population needs to be taken into consideration. In some circumstances, communities may contain street children or refugees. In these cases, age limitations should not be set since these populations have likely had little or no access to formal schooling. Community Needs : The needs of the targeted population need to be taken into account. It is important to consider groups that may not be in a position to express their needs or may be a minority population in the community. I

Indeed, more than one billion people identify themselves with Islam. That means that about one out of every five people in the world is a Moslem (follower of Islam)! The majority of Moslems live in western, southern and south-east Asia. Next to Asia, Africa is home to the next largest group of Moslems. Indeed, some experts estimate that almost half of Africa's population identify themselves as Moslems. More recently, Islam has spread into West Europe and North America.

Its coast is lapped by the Indian Ocean and it shares the vast waters of Lake Victoria with its western neighbours. The Rift Valley and central highlands area form the backbone of the country, and this is where Kenya's scenery is at its most spectacular. The humid coastal belt includes the Tana River estuary and a string of good beaches. Western Kenya takes in the fertile fringes of Lake Victoria and some prime game parks. The vast, arid north-eastern region is where Kenya is at its wildest and most untouched by the modern world. Kenya's flora and fauna defies easy description. The vast plains of the south are dotted with flat-topped acacia trees, thorn bushes and the distinctive bottle-shaped baobab tree. On the rarified slopes of Mt Elgon and Mt Kenya, bamboo forests sprout and even higher up is the bizarre groundsel tree, with its huge cabbage-like flowers, and giant lobelias with long spikes. If you're more into fur and feathers, then head for the teeming game parks. Lions, buffalos, elephants, leopards and rhinos all cavort openly in at least two of the major parks. Endangered animals such as the black rhino are slowly making a comeback and sanctuaries for these creatures can be visited in Tsavo and Lake Nakuru national parks.

Zanzibar doorway in Stone Town Zanzibar , island in the United Republic of Tanzania, located in the Indian Ocean about 30 km (about 20 mi) off the East African coast. Zanzibar’s sister island of Pemba lies an equal distance to the northeast. Zanzibar extends 85 km (53 mi) north to south and 43 km (27 mi) east to west and has an area of about 1660 sq km (about 640 sq mi). Covered with luxuriant tropical plant life, Zanzibar is a low-lying coral island with elevations no higher than 120 m (400 ft). Temperatures average between 24º and 27º C (75º and 81º F) throughout the year and are tempered by ocean breezes. Zanzibar's average annual rainfall, influenced by Indian Ocean monsoon wind patterns, is more than 1520 mm (more than 60 in). The island’s once prevalent forests have largely been replaced by cultivated crops, including cloves, bananas, and coconuts. Animal life is limited to small mammals and abundant birds. woman in Stone Town The population of Zanzibar in 1995 was an estimated 456,934. The port city of Zanzibar is the island’s principal urban center and is located on Zanzibar’s sheltered western shore. Smaller Zanzibari towns include Chwaka on the eastern shore, Kizimkazi in the south, and Mkokotoni in the northwest. Beit el Ajaib (House of Wonders) a Palace for the Sultan More Photos of Stone Town Zanzibar’s principal inhabitants are black Africans, descendants of the indigenous Hadimu, Tumbatu, and Pemba peoples. These were Bantu-speaking peoples who immigrated to Zanzibar from the nearby mainland, drawn by the island’s fertile soils and abundant water sources. The indigenous peoples later became known collectively as Shirazi to distinguish them from more recent black African arrivals. By the 10th century Arabs from Oman and other parts of southwest Asia had settled on the island. The Arabs formed Zanzibar's political, social, and economic elite until the island’s 1964 revolution forced out most of the Arab population. Sunni Islam is the religion of most of Zanzibar’s inhabitants. A small Indian community that includes believers in Shia Islam as well as Hindus and other religious groups is also present. Swahili is the primary language of island residents, with Arabic and English holding lesser influence.

Myths about Africa, Africans, and African History: The Student's "Ten Commandments" Introduction. Many of the ten myths referred to below have become "common knowledge" and widely accepted in American society, in both Black and White communities. It is necessary to discuss and unlearn them before we proceed with learning new things about Africa. Because unlearning these popular myths is very important for learning new things about Africa, I call them the student's "Ten Commandments." Knowing that these myths are wrong should be your foundational knowledge about Africa, its peoples and history. Myth One. Africa has no ancient cultures, histories or civilizations and has therefore made no meaningful contributions to world history. Subsidiary to this, the values that Westerners hold dear today like political freedom and democracy had and have no tradition or history in Africa. Myth Two. Africans are primarily tribespeople; Africans are organized first and foremost into tribes while Europeans are primarily organized into nations. Myth Three . Africans are essentially primitive in lifestyle, art and technology because few or no innovations took or take place in Africa.

Kenya History Early in the 16th century, the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama stopped at Mombasa on his way to India. The Portuguese built Fort Jesus in Mombasa in 1593; this soon became the headquarters of Portuguese officials and the main port of call for Portuguese vessels, but the fort was captured by Omani Arabs in 1698. In the 18th century, the Arabs made several attempts to penetrate the interior of the region in efforts to take over control of the slave trade then dominated by the Kamba. These attempts were repelled; only in the beginning of the 19th century were the Arabs able to take over the internal slave trade. One consequence of the Arab incursion was the consolidation of the politics of the Luo and the Luhya. When Europeans began to penetrate the area in the 19th century, the coastal areas were ruled by the Sultan of Zanzibar.[2] Opposition to Moi's one-party rule grew during 1990.[4] In July, 1990, Charles Rubia, Matiba and Raila Odinga, son of the former Vice President, were arrested and detained without trial when their public "pro-democracy" rallies were banned. Their arrest was protested at home and abroad, and riots spread in the central province. Though a KANU Delegates' Conference in December voted to keep the one-party system, a government-sponsored national dialogue was set in motion with the goal of facilitating broader democracy in spite of one-party rule. Despite these mollifying gestures, public discontent with the government and KANU increased. In August, 1990, Oginga Odinga and six prominent opposition leaders, formed the Forum for Restoration of Democracy (FORD) with extensive multi-ethnic support. The new movement immediately gained the public's support and its popularity soared.
