The CANEX Book Factory, a key component of the CANEX programme, will promote the African book value chain through various activities including a Pan-African writing workshop and an e-newsletter spotlighting African literature. The highlight of the initiative is the prize for publishing in Africa, with a USD20,000 award for the best trade book. Trade books encompass fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, excluding textbooks and academic works.
