| Abstract: | In the article the author speaks of 'animation' as it is understood in some African states which, in the manner of Community Development in anglophone countries, have created a specific programme of mass education in the framework of development, though 'animation' has evolved from a different background and is marked by the legacy of a colonial administration of a centralizing, technical and interventionist character. The author presents a general idea of the methods employed by rural 'animation', starting with the example of Senegal and referring to Niger and Madagascar. Successively he discusses the sotting up of an 'Animation' Centre, the choice of zones to 'animate', the recruitment of the students, the initiation course and the following courses of the trainees. The article is followed by a case study in community development. |
