Developing Strategies

Developing Strategies looks at three educational programs in science and technology that have succeeded in Africa despite a lack of textbooks and interesting scientific materials. The first, MindsAcross in Uganda, encourages children to write booklets and reading materials for each other. The second, Action Magazine in Zimbabwe, is a project that distributes comic-strip magazines on health and the environment to all schools in the country. The third, Kagera Writers Cooperative Union in Tanzania, publishes a newsletter for local farmers and textbooks in science and technology for the local school system. Lastly, Developing Strategies describes how these three projects are also working on AIDS education.
