Since the inclusion of copyright and related rights in the mandate of the Organization in 2002, ARIPO has been working with its Member States with the aim of creating national environments that promote and provide effective protection, management and enforcement of copyright and related rights in the respective Member States. Under the strategies to consider in awareness raising programs, the government through the national copyright office needs to play a leading role in raising awareness on copyright and Intellectual Property rights. This would require devising strategies that leverage and take advantage of information and communication technology to disseminate information for outreach and advocacy. With that in mind, creativity can be linked with culture in a bid to raise copyright awareness, Culture can be used as a vehicle for information dissemination about the need to protect and respect copyright.
