Abstract
The
study looked at how much literacy instruction has helped young people in
Bayelsa and Rivers States raise financial capability for community development
initiatives. 2,550 and 6,926 adult learners enrolled in adult education
programs in Bayelsa and Rivers States, respectively, made up the study's
population. Using the snowball sampling technique, samples of 245 and 924
students were chosen from these numbers. The Literacy Education and the
Mobilization of Resources for Project Initiation in Community Development
Projects Questionnaire (LEMRPICDPQ), a tool created by the researcher, was used
to gather data. When the Cronbach Alpha technique was used to examine the
instrument's reliability, the results showed a good degree of internal
consistency with a coefficient of 0.87. Mean and standard deviation were used
to analyze the study questions, with a criterion mean of 2.50. According to the
report, literacy instruction has significantly improved young people's ability
to raise funds for community development initiatives in both states. In order
to improve functional skills and boost young participation in community
development projects, it was advised that adult education providers step up
their efforts to raise awareness among learners about the value of taking part
in literacy training programs.
