Research in five African countries comparing the socio-economic impacts of Copyright regulation.
The ACCR will be caried out in five African countries including South Africa by local researchers. Leading international researchers from India and Canada will assist in the project. The research is managed through the LINK Center at the School of Public and Development Management at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
Once all the agreements have been signed the project will take approximately two and half years.
This research focuses on case studies of the socio-economic effects of copyright regulation. Conditions in five African countries will be compared, and a methodology developed to extend the research to more African countries.
