PAWA Partners the UN on the SDG Book Club for Africa

 PAWA PARTNERS THE UN ON THE SDG BOOK CLUB FOR AFRICA


 

The Pan African Writers Association (PAWA) and other book sector organizations from the African continent have decided to augment the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Book Club with a collection of English, French, Arabic, Kiswahili as well as Indigenous African Language books about the different goals for children.

The book club will launch on World Book Day (23 April 2021) and will feature quality African books that deal with the themes of the SDGs. Submissions are open now for books written for children by African Writers in the above named languages at http://bit.ly/SDGBookClubAfrica . A selection committee formed by the different partners will pick a shortlist for each SDG.

Organizations interested in joining the initiative are invited to contact:

Welda Mouton, UNIC: mouton@un.org
