Critical dimensions of the unemployment problem in Africa brought educational concerns to a head. The present survey, conducted by the African-American Institute, was prompted by a growing desire on the part of African governments and aid agencies to identify productive nonformal education programs in selected African countries and to explore alternative means of upgrading the skills and productivity of that vast majority of population which gets too little or no formal education. The report consists of five indepth case studies and descriptions of 70 projects that are representative of the categories and models in African nonformal education. These categories include (1) industrial and vocational training, primarily in the urban/modern sector, which may be subdivided into pre-employment programs; (2) agricultural training and rural community development, subdivided according to target populations; (3) programs aimed principally at rural youths, particularly school "leavers"; (4) training programs for adults in rural areas; and (5) descriptions of multipurpose programs.
