Abstract	A study examined the nature and extent of women's participation in adult and nonformal education in third world areas. During the study, female coordinators of adult and nonformal educational programs for women in the Arab states, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and the South Pacific collected information on such programs from print materials and from practitioners and researchers. Findings were then shared at a workshop attended by 16 women from 14 third world countries. While the problems faced by women and the solutions available to them varied greatly within each region and within each country, the project and workshop did reveal some common needs and problems faced by women across the regions. Throughout the seven regions of the project, development programs generally failed to take women seriously into account as full participants. Much of nonformal education focused simply on helping women improve only within the limited range of activities assigned to them by virtue of their sex. To remedy this situation, governments must formulate more precise, consistent, and integrative policies supporting the development of women and must provide the resources, training, and monitoring necessary to ensure that these policies are carried out.
