Copyright and Access to Knowledge in Africa

The African Copyright and Access to Knowledge Project has launched the book “Access to Knowledge in Africa: The Role of Copyright”.

The book aims to provide readers with a clearer picture of the legal and practical issues created by copyright for access to learning materials in Africa and provides information on best policies and practices that would enable a wider access. The book is based on the work of ACA2K and focuses on access to knowledge in eight African countries: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal, South Africa, and Uganda.
