Amenability properties of Banach algebra valued continuous functions

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and A   a Banach algebra. We investigate amenability properties of the algebra C(X,A)$C(X,A)$ of all A  -valued continuous functions. We show that C(X,A)$C(X,A)$ has a bounded approximate diagonal if and only if A has a bounded approximate diagonal; if A   has a compactly central approximate diagonal (unbounded) then C(X,A)$C(X,A)$ has a compactly approximate diagonal. Weak amenability of C(X,A)$C(X,A)$ for commutative A is also considered.
