Abstract | This article develops a theoretical framework for analyzing adult learning in projects aiming to strengthen citizenship implemented by nongovernmental organizations, especially in the contexts of sub-Saharan Africa. On the basis of a review of international development research, we suggest that a new framework should address the need for a conceptualization of learning as a gradual process and for capturing the gap between ideal models and everyday experiences of citizenship. We argue, building on John Dewey's philosophy, for a framework of "growth into citizenship," and introduce the notions of learning as reorganization of habits and the method of democracy as an avenue for learning as novel contributions to this field.
