Abstract
Critics have argued that for social work education and training in Africa to realize relevance, it has to shed its remedial character and assume a developmental outlook. However, what has not been clearly articulated is how to implement the developmental social work approach among the various institutions in the continent. This article suggests benchmarks, or a checklist (or model), to enable institutions to work out the extent to which they may be in the process of implementing this strategy.
