This document reports, in narrative format, the proceedings of a conference in Sweden attended by more than 40 adult educators from around the world to discuss aid to education in developing nations. The report describes the conference's two main objectives: (1) to exchange experiences about financing and supporting adult education in the developing countries between the donors, on the one hand, and between the donors and beneficiaries on the other; and (2) to enable those responsible for decision making in both industrialized and developing countries to make tangible improvements in the substance and methods of international cooperation for adult education. Three kinds of papers were presented at the conference: working papers, presentations of international agencies, and regional panels from various areas of the world. The papers revolved around the following themes, according to this report: development, adult education practices, empowerment in action, NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), the roles we play, donors, the intermediaries, African panel, Asian panel, Latin American panel, Caribbean panel, group work, the business of evaluation, false contradictions, from projects to programs, and the future.
