The study tracks the trend towards liberalisation and decentralisation in the book sector in many African countries in the 1990s, giving examples of different partnerships and practices underway inEthiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It shows how these liberalisation policies have resulted in tangible development gains in many countries: more and better quality local publishers and books; but that the shift towards decentralisation of provision has created new problems in terms of administration and accountability.
