Abstract	This study, essentially a personal description is the first to deal with one of the pilot projects in functional literacy, part of the UNESCO experimental adult literacy program. The project discussed is a work-oriented literacy undertaking in Tanzania. Following a brief survey of the background of the project, the present situation is described. Ways in which the concept of functional literacy is adapted to the country's problems and goals are indicated, and the socio-vocational sectors in which the project is being implemented are described. The 10 chapters of the document are: I. Centres; II. The country and its choices; III. What they are teaching; IV. Mr. and Mrs. Hardworker join a "Ujamaa" village; V. Learning to organize learning; VI. Teachers learning to teach; VII. The view from across the square; VIII. Towards continuing education; and IX. From the project to the national program. The conclusion reached as a result of the study is that as a joint national-international program seeking to obtain knowledge about education for rural adults and its relationship to social and economic development, the project can be called a success.
