AFRICA DOESN’T HAVE AN IP PROBLEM.
Millions of Africans are already making IP work by building brands, creating stories, developing innovations and taking businesses into new markets.
The work is already happening. Now, we need an ecosystem that helps it grow, scale and create more value for Africa.

From policy to practice!!!
Today in Lusaka, public & private sector leaders are gathering to validate the Zambia Step-by-Step Guide for Trading in Goods under the AfCFTA.
This key tool demystifies cross-border trade processes, product classification, rules of origin, and customs clearance to empower local businesses, MSMEs, and women/youth entrepreneurs.
This effort is spearheaded by MCTI & @ZambiaCommerce, with expert technical support from @ECA_OFFICIAL and financial support from @DanishMFA & @giz_gmbh.
