As creative industries develop across Africa, stronger intellectual property protection and enforcement frameworks are key to ensuring their continued growth.  The U.S. Department of State, in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), hosted eight participants from Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria June 22 to July 3 through an International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) to promote creative industry growth and support more robust intellectual property protection and enforcement in Africa.
