Abstract:

How do you cultivate sustainable literacy organizations that promote
development? This is a central question for literacy and development
practitioners. The Ifè literacy program of Togo models the successful
development of one such organization, and the productive secondary programs
that came into being as a result.

Reeder describes the context and history of the development of the Ifè
literacy associations, and uses social representation theory from French
academia to explore how cultural representations of leadership and of literacy
contributed to the strength of leadership development in this program. The
author further evaluates the capacity building of personnel, organizations,
and local communities in terms of who made decisions, social representations
of leadership and literacy regarding those decisions, and their impact.

This book will interest facilitators of literacy and development programs and
anyone involved in cross-cultural training. It contributes to leadership
theories and models, particularly African leadership in volunteer
organizations, by providing data on leadership qualities valued by one African
culture, which can be extended to other African cultures. It also adds to the
understanding of the relationship between literacy and development.

JeDene Reeder (Ed.D., Simon Fraser University) is a Senior Literacy and
Education Consultant with SIL International. She worked as a literacy
specialist in the Pagibete language in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
then as both consultant and Literacy Coordinator in Togo and Benin.
