The study used descriptive survey design. For the survey, two Woredas were selected by using simple random sampling technique. Data gathering tools were questionnaire, semi-structured interview guide and focus group discussion. The questionnaire was employed to generate quantitative information from adult learners. Qualitative data were collected by using interview and focus group discussion with adult learners to triangulate the quantitative data. In addition, Woreda education office officers, experts, coordinators, and facilitators were interviewed using availability sampling through questionnaire. A total of 68 adult learners from Woreda five and 48 adult learners from Wereda six were selected by using simple random sampling technique and, 2 officers, 2 coordinators, 2 experts, and 4 facilitators were included by using availability sampling technique. The data were analyzed with the use of one-way survey analysis. The major finding was that adult literacy and numeracy program significantly helped adult learners develop strong trust, build relationship and create social networks. However, data from respondents disclosed that there were gaps in collaboration of stakeholders in creating opportunities to adult learners so that they continue to access resources after completion of the program. It was also observed that there were challenges of having sustainable life after completion due to lack of resource and opportunity in the Woredas that needs to be tackled to make social capital development outcome more successful
