UNESCO DESIGNATES RABAT AS WORLD BOOK CAPITAL FOR 2026

UNESCO chief says the Moroccan capital has 54 publishing houses and a book
industry which is not only a vital part of the city’s creative economy but also
at the forefront of democratizing knowledge.

The Moroccan capital of Rabat

RABAT - The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) announced on Tuesday the designation of Morocco’s capital of Rabat as
World Book Capital 2026.

UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay made the announcement Tuesday based on
the recommendation of the World Book Capital Advisory Committee, which includes
representatives of European and International Booksellers Federation (EIBF), the
International Authors Forum (IAF), the International Federation of Library
Associations (IFLA), the International Publishers Association (IPA), and UNESCO.

“Rabat has 54 publishing houses and a book industry which is not only a vital
part of the city’s creative economy but also at the forefront of democratizing
knowledge, “said Azoulay in a press release.

The city hosts the third largest international book and publishing fair in
Africa and boasts a growing number of bookstores. UNESCO and the World Book
Capital Advisory Committee have awarded Rabat the WBC title for its clear
commitment to literary development, the empowerment of women and youth through
reading, and the fight against illiteracy, especially among underserved
communities.

As World Book Capital for 2026, Rabat will roll out a series of initiatives with
the aim of fostering sustainable economic growth and social benefits by
enhancing access to books and supporting the local publishing industry.

The Moroccan capital will also launch a major initiative to reinforce literacy
of all its citizens. The Cities designated as UNESCO World Book Capital
undertake to promote books and reading for all ages and groups, within and
across national borders.

The Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro was designated as World Book Capital 2025.
