You are invited to facilitate analytical reflection and assessment of progress made in the field of youth and adult education in our countries, within the framework of the general review of the V International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA V) and more concretely, the commitments signed there by governments six years ago.

The questions listed in this guide are directed to civil society organizations who are recognized for their experience and work in this field of education. We hope to develop an overall assessment of the situation in each country grounded in objective data, although we do not pretend to collect statistical or numerical data.

This assessment process is being organized as just one of many regional assessment efforts to review progress made since CONFINTEA V on an international level and ANCEFA will coordinate the process of the mid-term review in the Africa region.
