Piloting A Whole-Of-Book-Chain Approach
Market dynamics around the book supply chain have both global and local factors and implications; however, in many countries, they are driven in large part by policies, practices, and trends at the national level, including language of instruction, taxation on inputs, and procurement practices, among other things.
The Book Alliance has committed to implementing a set of pilot activities focused on the interconnected challenges in book development and provision at a country level and to carrying out a comprehensive analysis of a country's book supply chain, using the findings to inform concrete actions to improve the system.
The Book Alliance is currently finalizing a toolkit to guide the book chain analyses and intends to carry out these analyses in eight countries by 2021, with each analysis leading to targeted, evidence-based initiatives focused on improving the supply chain's function.
