Books & Publishers: Africa

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Print Industry: South Africa’s 5% tariff on imported newsprint is intended to protect local production, but could raise costs for publishers and newspapers. Library Access: Tanzania has launched a digital library system, with Education Minister Mkenda urging the board to prioritise books over buildings. Nigeria’s Copyright Commission is also moving to establish a national accessible-book portal. Book Fairs: Algeria’s 29th International Book Fair is expected to host 1,567 publishers from 51 countries, with Saudi Arabia named guest of honour. Publishing Innovation: A Tanzanian publisher is using AI to convert social scripts, while a Ghanaian journalist has turned a popular Daily Graphic series into a book.
