"The African Publishing Institute of the African Publishers Network, in collaboration with national book trade associations, operates an integrated pan-African training programme for the African book professions. It conducts short, intensive courses, trains trainers, and places people on periods of attachments with publishers in various parts of the continent. This booklet reviews the nature of the training programmes, the courses and workshops conducted over a period of ten years, and also includes a complete list of participants of all courses run between 1995 and 2001."
