WORK PLAN 2023

CARIPI - WORK PLAN 2023

CarIPI focuses on four expected results.

1. Modernised and harmonised IP legal frameworks and international IP treaties promoted
2. More efficient and more harmonised administrations offering high quality services to the users, including effective enforcement of IPR.
3. Increased awareness on the importance of IP protection and enforcement among policymakers, businesses, creators and society at large and empowering women and youth.
4. Improved capacity of the productive sector (MSMEs/SMEs) to create, protect, utilize, commercialize and enforce their IPRs.

To achieve these results, the overall work plan sets a multiannual framework, complemented by four annual work plans to be developed each year.
A balanced approach is envisaged in terms of geographical distribution of activities in the CARIFORUM countries, different IP rights, and types of activities that can include, inter alia, studies, policy recommendations, workshops, conferences, peer-to-peer exchanges, technical support for IT tools, and promotion.
The activities are identified each year through a consultation process with the CARIFORUM States and the CARIFORUM Directorate, as well as other key stakeholders in the region.
