What does it take to build a thriving publishing industry? In Africa, the answer starts with recognition. For decades, African authors, publishers and booksellers have worked in fragmented markets. But the talent, demand and creativity is growing. UNESCO's new report offers the first-ever comprehensive mapping of the book industry across all 54 African countries. The data tells a compelling story: despite structural challenges, the continent already generates US$7 billion annually, and with the right support, this could grow to US$18.5 billion. This isn’t just about economics. It's about culture, access to knowledge, and the power of African stories told by African voices.
