It will be filled with 5,000 new books for children and adults in English and local languages.

About APIF
In May 2019, the International Publishers Association and Dubai Cares had a vision to support publishers across the African continent.
The result was a courageous initiative called the Africa Publishing Innovation Fund- An $800,000 fund to support literacy, book access, indigenous publishing, and library restoration.
This podcast series features the dreamers and free-thinkers who have stepped up in the face of adversity. We'll learn about their ambitious projects and a shared belief— that access to knowledge is an undeniable human right.
