ABSTRACT
The learning programme was supervised by staff members with headquarters in Mombasa who were assigned villages to assist. The education was implemented in each village by a coordinator selected by the group of participating women. The training was to enable them to engage project participants using the Tototo Kilemba learning approach. The most striking difference is that in the National Christian Council of Kenya-World Education Inc. Tototo Kilemba project, the learning objectives and intended outcomes were not determined or assumed by health professionals at the outset and imposed, in however sensitive and well-intentioned a way, on the learners. A most reasonable concern of professionals involved in health, nutrition, family planning and other development domains is as to where the specifics of these issues fit into such a learner-determined programme. Learners identified priorities with the help of their coordinators and thus set, and were committed to, the agenda.
