Making Book Coordination Work!

This synthesis of recent moves to coordinate book sector planning and development, aims to fulfil two objectives. On the one hand, it seeks to describe the changing scenario in which book sector coordination has become necessary. On the other hand, it raises the key issues that need to be confronted as ad hoc committees or working parties become more established. Examples are drawn from stakeholder experience in the public, private and NGO sectors in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The publishers believe that the insights that emerge will provide inspiration to all those who have either established a book coordination structure, or who are thinking of doing so in their own country in the near future. The book is jointly published with the Danida Basic Learning Materials Initiative.
