UNESCO launches book project in North Africa
The ‘Study and Action Plan for the development of the book sector in North Africa’ has been launched by UNESCO’s office in Rabat, Morocco. Implemented in coordination with the Global Alliance’s projects ‘Reform and professionalization of the publishing sector in Algeria’ and ‘Reading for All’ in Mauritania, the project is supported by Japan and aims to reinforce national book policies in North African countries. |
|
The first phase of the project involves a study of the current state of affairs in the book sector in the sub-region, including a comparative analysis on legislative frameworks and on the implementation of international conventions. The results of this study will be discussed during a seminar on book policies in the region which is due to take place in Nouakchott, Mauritania, in May 2005, and which should lead to an agreed plan of action for the region.
