School-Community Linkages in Environmental Education: Factors of Success in PFIE, non-PFIE and Community Schools in Mali

摘要

The goal of this study was to assess the situation in Mali and to identify the factors that contribute to the success of environmental education programs, so as to replicate these programs in other African countries or other areas facing the same types of problems. Data-gathering instruments were designed around three areas: (1) knowledge of the environment, (2) information on environmental programs, and (3) the relationship between this information and community practices.
