The ACA2K delegation was able to present selected ACA2K research findings to the Africa Group at WIPO, and the ACA2K team’s presentation was well-received, with several members of the Africa Group expressing interest in being briefed in more detail about ACA2K’s findings at a later stage. Furthermore, ACA2K representatives distributed ACA2K’s third Geneva briefing paper, WIPO Briefing Paper 3, to delegates at WIPO.


Based on the briefing paper, ACA2K’s official statement to WIPO was made on the third day of SCCR’s deliberations. Several delegates commended the ACA2K team on the ground-breaking nature of the research and the country delegations of both Kenya and South Africa expressly referred to ACA2K research in their interventions at SCCR.
