CAIRO – 1 June 2021: The International Publishers Association announced Tuesday accepting proposals for projects to develop a culture of reading outside the classroom in Africa. This comes within the grant program of the African Publishing Innovation Fund, which amounts to $200,000 channeled for the best ideas that aim at making books available to larger segments of Africans. Many African publishers are also overly dependent on selling printed textbooks to governments. During the period from June 1 to August 31, 2021, entrepreneurs and innovators in Africa can pitch their ideas on the African Publishing Innovation Fund website:www.apinnovation.fund. Final winners will be chosen by the African Publishing Innovation Fund Committee.
