BOTH THE RADIO SCHOOL MOVEMENT AND THE CENTRAL OFFICE OF ACCION CULTURAL POPULAR HONDURENA HAVE DONE REMARKABLY WELL IN ACHIEVING THE PROJECT GOALS. THE GENERAL GOAL HAS BEEN TO MOTIVATE THE INDIVIDUAL TO BECOME CONSCIOUS OF HIS OWN CAPACITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPMENT IN HIS COMMUNITY. THE RADIO SCHOOL MOVEMENT HAS BEEN QUIT SUCCESSFUL IN ITS GOALS OF DEVELOPING ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY AND PARTICIPATORY COLLECTIVE DECISION-MAKING INSTITUTIONS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES AND STIMULATING THE GENERAL MOTIVATION TO INITIATE SOCIAL CHANGE. REGARDING THE GOAL OF LITERACY TRAINING, THE RADIO SCHOOL MOVEMENT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RADICALLY REDUCE THE LEVEL OF ILLITERACY. IT HAS ALSO HAD LITTLE SUCESS IN ITS GOAL OF DEVELOPING A GREATER AWARENESS OF, AND ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN, THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENTAL PROCESS, BUT IT HAS INFLUENCED THE GROWTH OF A MORE BALANCED CONSTRUCTIVE POLITICAL ATTITUDE AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY LEVEL AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE REFORM OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE: (1) CENTER EDUCATION ON THE FOCAL CONCERNS OF THE CAMPESINO; (2) HELP TO PROVIDE RESOURCES, NOT JUST MOTIVATION; (3) DEVELOP A SOURCE OF PRIDE IN THE CAMPESINO IDENTITY; AND (4) PREPARE THE CAMPESINO IN HIS COMMUNITY TO ESTABLISH LINKAGES WITH THE LARGER SOCIETY.
