Abstract: Adult Education and Community Development compliments each other in the bid to ameliorate and alleviate the living conditions of people. In developing countries where many people are living in rural communities, they are veritable instruments par excellence for tackling illiteracy, ignorance and diseases. To this end, the collaboration of government agencies, non-government organizations, communities and community-based organizations toward development programmes is therefore inevitable. This paper examined the concept of adult education, community development, family life and their complimentary roles. It also looked at some programmes capable of stimulating and sustaining family life education. The paper recommended amongst others that, there should be full and active participation of family members and in extension community members in planning and execution of adult education programmes that will improve family life education and that Government at all levels should periodically organize adult education programmes and sensitization workshops for her citizens. It concluded that adult education and community development as strategies for mitigating the challenges of family life education can only be achieved when a deliberate attempt from community members to work together in order to guide the future of their communities and the design of a corresponding set of methods for assisting members of the community in such a process as to enhance their well-being and aspirations.
