The Nouveaux Horizons Book Translation Program is without question an outstanding USG success story in Francophone Africa. NH titles are the same books that informed American citizens are reading, translated into French, and available for presentation and commercial distribution throughout French-speaking Africa. Each year, at least a dozen new titles are added to the NH collection. Eight presentation copies of every new NH release are sent to Posts free of charge.
Posts can then order additional copies at a minimal fee.
Working with Posts, Nouveaux Horizons participates in National and Regional book fairs like those held in Dakar, Bamako, Abidjan, Antananarivo, Tunis and Casablanca. The book week is usually linked to a mission-wide program or major event. The NHSP offers Francophone Posts a golden opportunity to have American experts lead sophisticated and stimulating book discussions on a wide range of MPP issues and concerns. The books are NH titles and the speakers are recruited from the ARS network of French fluent American experts. These NHSP programs are free to Posts, costs being entirely covered with ARS recycled book funds.
