In spite of the long history of adult education in Africa the impact in the area of development has not been, as significant as expected. Although participatory research methods have been applied; the outcome has not been commensurate with the efforts and the resources committed. This paper takes a look at the place of participatory research in adult education endeavours in Africa. The argument is advanced that both adult education and development will need a re-definition within the African reality, and that the application of participatory research in Africa needs to wear an African face for any meaningful impact in the new millennium
