IPA President Bodour Al Qasimi meets publishers in Kenya to offer support


Strategies
On both occasions, Al Qasimi presented the IPA’s 2021 vision to develop strategies to return global publishing to full strength and enable it to continue making its vital contribution to education, social development and knowledge economies.
Addressing KPA officials and Kenyan publishers, Al Qasimi said: “The pandemic exposed some important underlying issues in the publishing world, and its impact continues to reverberate. This is why we are assembling a cross-sectoral task force comprising publishers, authors, illustrators, distributors, wholesalers, printers, and like-minded others. We will engage all stakeholders across the value chain and draw up a road map to help the book industry to be more resilient and move onwards and upwards, to everyone’s benefit.” ....
