The document discusses the use of "reading tents" in East Africa to promote literacy. It describes how the East African Book Development Association (EABDA) partnered with Book Aid International to set up reading tents in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The tents are used to encourage reading, storytelling, games, and other activities to build a reading culture. The partnership aims to increase access to books and information, strengthen the book industry, and develop literacy in the region through these outreach programs.
