Accessing Locally Authored Books | Book Publishing in Tanzania - a podcast by CODE NGO

In this episode, Tanzanian author and publisher Elieshi Lema joins podcast host Genevieve Spicer to tell us about book publishing in Tanzania, innovations in publishing that she believes will change how many children can access books outside of school, and why it's important for children to have access to locally authored books.
