APNET can claim many concrete achievements since its formation; in general, as an evaluation of APNET states: “The formation and revitalization of many national publishers associations are a direct result of APNET’s networking activities, most consistently through person-to-person contact and the publication of the "African Publishing Review"”. The "African Publishing Review" "(APR)" is a bi-monthly newsletter sent out to publishers’ associations, book development councils, libraries, etc., and other subscribers. For publishers in Africa, the "APR" is free of charge; however, other subscribers must pay a small fee. The "African Publishing Review" is the only pan-African publishing journal published in Africa with news, analysis, and in-depth perspectives of African Publishing. A survey was conducted and it showed that the "APR" is the “second most important source of information” to publishers after the national publishers associations. A survey done by SIDA showed that the APR is the most frequently used form of APNET service. APNET has produced six other publications, including "The Story of APNET", "The Development Directory of Indigenous Publishing", "African “Rights” Indaba", "APNET Children’s Books Catalogue", the "Catalogue of Agricultural Books Published in Africa", and "Towards an African Publishing Institute".
