Enforcement of copyright laws

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised that it would enforce copyright laws through a Government led awareness campaign on copyright laws and the enforcement mechanisms as a way of ensuring knowledge about the issue and increasing earnings by artists.

The Kenya Copyright Board frequently conducts trainings on copyright laws and enforcement mechanisms.
The Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) frequently conducts countrywide training for creatives, including musicians, filmmakers, and visual artists, to educate them on intellectual property (IP) rights.
KECOBO has extended its awareness campaign to the Judiciary and National Police Service, training over 60 judges and 100 magistrates on copyright infringement to ensure effective prosecution of IP theft.
Kenya hosted the Second International Symposium on Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement (ISIPPE-2) in 2024 to position the country as a regional leader in IP protection
