ADEA warmly congratulates his member Aliou Sow, named the best African publisher of youth books

The Association for the Development of Education is Africa (ADEA) warmly congratulates Aliou Sow, focal point of the ADEA’s Working Group on Books and Learning Materials (WGBLM) and founder of the publishing house - Editions Ganndal – who recently named the winner of the grand prize for the best African publisher of youth books of the year at the International Book Fair of Bologna, held earlier this month. 

Aliou Sow is a great advocate for reading issues in Africa and more particularly in the field of national languages. Through the WGBLM, he contributes and supports processes leading to the formulation of sound and coherent national book policies in order to improve the supply of good quality educational materials for effective basic education and literacy across Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, through the Global Book Alliance (GBA) and in partnership with ADEA and USAID, his Working Group fosters the promotion of the importance of adequate supply of good quality textbooks and other reading materials in national languages to establish a solid and sustainable groundwork for quality education in schools for all children, which is one of the major concern for ADEA and USAID.
