Illustrative Project: | Political Process: The book sector in Cameroon is disorganised. Our seminars, workshops,conferences and advocacy activites have helped to draw the attention of the government to see the need to enact book policies and create a Book Development Council for Cameroon. We believe in the application of book development strategies for long-term fight against illiteracy, ignorance, disease, poverty and wars (hindrances to development) in Africa. |
