The activity will consist of a 3-day workshop for customs officials, police officers, IPOs, national administrations and private sector representatives from all four countries. Participants will take part in plenary lectures, panel discussions and breakout focus groups.

AfrIPI will facilitate a cooperation framework among the IP Directorates of the participating customs authorities, which will be discussed and adopted by the participants as a proposal for discussion by their hierarchies.

INPI France has been involved in the past and will continue to be an important part of the activity. Italian customs authorities have been active in training activities in Egypt and should also be involved here.
