The main objective of this activity is to support the revision of the copyright law and the establishment of a structure for the collective management of copyright and related rights in Equatorial Guinea. This will be done through the awareness-raising of national stakeholders of the need to protect literary and artistic creations, and the preparation of a national law, in close consultation with them.

The technical assistance will be provided by an external expert, recruited by AfrIPI. The expert will work under the supervision of a EUIPO expert on copyrights, and in close collaboration with OAPI, as well as with national stakeholders.

An awareness-raising workshop will be held prior to drafting the law, and a validation workshop will be held following the completion of the drafting of the law.
