• This chapter reprises national IP policies on the continent to gauge the appropriateness of national approaches to IP. For instance, a policy foundation that does not centre developmental priorities as found in the continental blueprint Agenda 2063 and national development plans, human rights considerations nor acknowledge prevailing national socio-economic realities is unlikely to be fit for purpose. The chapter begins by defining key terms, then considers the significance of IP policies in Africa and the factors affecting policy design, including the role and impact of technical assistance. Then it presents state profiles of IP policies and IP development plans and evaluates them briefly.
