South Africa - Results-Based Financing and the Book Supply Chain : Motivating Writers and Publishers to Create Quality Storybooks

REACH - World Bank Group 2019

This final report details how the REACH project established a diverse, nation-wide public-private partnership to raise awareness of the critical need for storybooks. For the first time at a national level, literacy experts from across South Africa convened to discuss reading for pleasure. National and provincial government officials from various departments, publishing representatives, academic institutions, and NGOs collaborated to develop the What Makes a Great Storybook? resource designed for all South Africans to use.
