Abstract
This issue of the IFLA Journal focuses on library development and information access in Africa and developing regions. Articles examine literacy initiatives, public library services, and information needs in countries such as Sierra Leone, Ghana, Zambia, and Uganda. Topics include policy frameworks, community engagement, and the role of libraries in education and national development. Case studies highlight both challenges and innovations in extending information services to underserved populations. The issue underscores the importance of strategic planning, local leadership, and international cooperation in strengthening library infrastructure and promoting equitable access to knowledge across diverse and resource-constrained environments.
