4. Publishing Procedure

During the first phase the Project received manuscripts from publishers. The Children’s Book Committee examined the manuscripts and selected those suitable for publication under CBP. The publisher got the approval of the Project Executive Secretary to print the book. The publisher was required to print a minimum of 5000 copies out of which he/she sold 3000 to the project and 2000 to bookshops.

During the second phase publishers are required to submit CRC’s or books. For the tittles which get approval of CBC publishers are supposed to produce 7500 for each tittle. 5000 copies are purchased by the project and the rest sold to the open market. The project distributes the books to six primary schools in each district throughout Tanzania.
