Abstract	In Wolof, spoken by a majority of Sengalese, TOSTAN means "breakthrough". This 18-month programme goes beyond literacy to give learners the means to define and solve problems, improve their families' health and start small-scale projects in response to local needs. Taking African culture as its starting point, the programme has been developed with villagers for over 10 years. Since 1988, the UNICEF-supported programme has reached 15.000 people in over 350 villages across Senegal. Recently, a separate adolescent programme has been launched.... Realizing that the first preoccupation of villagers may not be to learn how to read and write, but to improve their livelihood, TOSTAN has developed a programme of six modules, throughout which literacy is linked to life skills, ant the learning method is participatory. [ The brochure describes the practicing of this programme.] (DIPF/ Umschlagtext).
