Entwicklungszusammenarbeit im Bereich der Erwachsenenbildung. Akteure, Strukturen und Wirkungen

This article sums up development cooperation in adult education, providing information about the fields in which this cooperation takes place, which funds it uses and which professionals are involved. When it comes to the question of how German adult education exports have affected transitional countries, the spotlight is on evaluation. The authors ascertain that evaluation work has reached different stages in different educational fields. In the sector of vocational education cooperation the first impact studies have already been published, though longitudinal analyses have not yet been carried out. However, in cultural and general adult education, and especially in political adult education, cooperation is still in its infancy as regards evaluation.
