Support the registration of pilot GIs in the ARIPO region

This activity aims to provide ARIPO Member States with technical assistance on a pilot (meeting AfrIPI’s criteria for support) to register their associated name as a Geographical Indication (GI) in their national system.

Additionally, the activity will be an opportunity to suggest studies that could assess the potential for any given product to function as a sustainable GI. It will also be an opportunity to provide the Member States with assistance in bring together a GI managing group and/or GI specifications and control plans, as the case may be.
