The study was carried out in order to analyse the planning and implementation of adult
literacy programmes in selected Community Development sub-centres in Lusaka District.
The objectives that guided the study were to: examine how adult literacy programmes are
planned in selected Community Development sub-centres in Lusaka District; establish how
adult literacy programmes are implemented in selected Community Development sub-centres
in Lusaka District; determine the factors that affect the planning and implementation of adult
literacy programmes in selected Community Development sub-centres in Lusaka District; and
explore strategies which could be employed to enhance the planning and implementation of
adult literacy programmes in selected Community Development sub-centres in Lusaka
District. This study adopted a case study design. The target population included: all adult
learners; all adult literacy facilitators; all Community Development Assistants; the District
Community Development Officer for Lusaka District and all the Community Development
Planners in the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services. The study had a
total population of 50 of which 40 were adult literacy learners, who were simple randomly
selected while 4 facilitators, 4 Community Development Assistants, 1 Community
Development Planning Officer; and 1 District Community Development Officer were all
purposively selected. Four sub-centres out of 8 were selected for the study using simple
random sampling procedure. A focus group discussion was used to collect data from 40 adult
literacy learners. Interview guides were used to collect data from the remaining participants.
The data collected was coded and analysed using themes which emanated from the responses.

The experts in the Department of Community Development at the national level, together
with experts from other line ministries, decided on the course content and produced manuals
to be used in all the sub-centres. Staff at the lower levels, facilitators, learners and other
stakeholders were not involved in the planning of these programmes. When it came to the
implementation of the programmes, it was mainly left to the facilitators with little assistance
from the staff in the MCDSS in charge of literacy. The findings also revealed that planning
and implementation of adult literacy programmes in selected Community Development subcentres
was affected by: lack of collaboration among stakeholders in the planning and
implementation process; lack of qualified facilitators; lack of funding and lack of adequate
teaching and learning materials. Some of the suggested strategies to improve the planning and
implementation of adult literacy programmes include: coming together of all stakeholders to
plan for literacy programmes and engagement of suitably qualified facilitators to…
