AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Publishing & Books in Africa: Literary events & author tours: CIAPS will host Lesotho-based columnist Dr Sunny A. Adache in Lagos on 21 August, encouraging schools to attend and turn the meet-the-author into student writing practice. Creative industry support: Création Africa 2 has selected 15 Southern African creative businesses (from 340 applicants) for incubation and investment-readiness, with a strong women-led share and publishing/music among the sectors. Book culture & access: A Kenyan orphaned girl, Jane Nduta, who walked into an MP’s office in 2018 with her parents’ death certificates, has finally graduated from JKUAT—an education story that underscores how targeted support can change publishing-era life outcomes. Media & writing skills: A study of 948 communication job ads in Kenya finds writing still dominates hiring, with search and AI skills appearing unevenly—useful context for African media and publishing talent pipelines. Regional publishing links: Qatar is set to take part in the Istanbul International Arabic Book Fair, reinforcing cross-regional Arabic-language literary exchange.
