The Special Program of Assistance for Africa(SPA) was established in 1987 as a response to the economic crises of the debt-distressed countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. An informal association of donors, the SPA was intended to support the countries structural adjustment programs with the International Development Association and the International Monetary Fund. The SPA did respond to the challenge. Free of the restrictive formality of other fora, donors were able to test ideas and develop a mutual understanding. High-level donor representation provided the opportunity for meaningful interactions with World Bank and IMF policy makers. The SPA helped to channel substantial quick-disbursing aid. Through peer pressure, it improved donor procedures. It broadened its agenda to address structural impediments to broad-based development. It provided a platform for frank and open exchanges on Africa's economic and social policy issues. It facilitated a convergence of development assistance goals and practices while preserving flexibility.

Le Programme spécial d'assistance à l'Afrique (PSA) a été lancé en 1987 en réaction à la crise économique qui sévissait dans les pays lourdement endettés d'Afrique subsaharienne. Association informelle de donateurs, il visait à soutenir les programmes d'ajustement structurel de ces pays conjointement avec l'Association internationale de développement et le Fonds monétaire international. Le PSA a relevé le défi. Exempt du formalisme contraignant des autres instances, il a permis de tester des idées nouvelles et de développer la compréhension mutuelle entre les donateurs. Grâce à une représentation de haut niveau, ceux-ci ont pu avoir des échanges constructifs avec les responsables de la Banque mondiale et du FMI. Le PSA a permis d'acheminer une aide à décaissement rapide importante. Sous la pression des pairs, les donateurs ont amélioré leurs procédures. Le programme d'action a été élargi pour tenter de résoudre les problèmes structurels qui font obstacle au développement général. Le PSA a servi de base à des échanges francs et ouverts sur les questions économiques et sociales qui se posent en Afrique. Il a favorisé la convergence des buts et des pratiques en matière d'aide au développement tout en préservant la flexibilité.

Online learning support is an integral part of the online learning process in guiding learners and providing feedback(Coomey & Stephenson, 2001; Oliver, 2001). In learner-centred instruction, learners direct and control various aspects of their learning(e. g. learning outcomes, choice of group members), with instructors in the background providing advice and general guidelines on resources and procedures. Various means of online learning support include :-Learning guides(e. g. generic ones on study and research skills or specific guides on how to complete a particular online course).-Online mentors and buddies who facilitate, coach or guide learners through the course.-Online personal learning portfolios(e. g. learners’ journals, personal learning logs) to promote self-reflection(a critical component of learner-centred instruction).-Online public learning portfolios to encourage peer review and feedback on each other's work.

Mullen(2000) describes her model of collaborative mentoring as different from traditional mentoring. Typically, when dealing with university faculty and school faculty, one is grounded in theory and the other in practice. The collaborative model provided a process to integrate educational theory and practice by providing for secondary and peer mentors and facilitating team-oriented projects.... Collaborative mentoring is a way of bridging the distance between educational theory and practice, provided the mentors focus on dialogue and reflection as opposed to merely providing emotional support to pre-service teachers.

OBS

Parent, ami ou pair qui adopte une attitude permissive vis-à-vis l'usage abusif d'alcool ou de drogues par un proche ou en encourageant sa consommation en favorisant des rituels protecteurs qui dissimulent la poursuite de ces pratiques néfastes.

OBS

Vu l'aspect vague d'«enabler» («To enable» = permettre à quelqu'un de faire quelque chose), ce terme ne revêt aucun caractère négatif en anglais. La proposition française «incitateur/incitatrice» s'inspire du verbe «inciter», ce qui signifie tout simplement l'action de conduire quelqu'un à un comportement, par une influence morale. Termes connexes : incitation à la consommation, abus d'intoxicants avec consentement tacite d'un pair, intervenant, habilitateur, facilitateur.
