I return from this thorough, insightful and friendly workshop in Cape Town https://openbookcollective.pubpub.org/pub/towards-sustainable-open-access-book-publishing-in-the-african-context-workshop-programme/release/13 with a much better understanding of the #openaccess landscape in sub saharan Africa and how the Directory of Open Access Books could support developments towards #OA book publishing in the region.
