Abstract

This African Copyright and Access to Knowledge Network (ACA2K) country study is a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the copyright environment on access to learning materials in Ghana. It provides a critical overview of the copyright regulatory framework in relation to access to copyright protected materials for the purposes of teaching, learning and research. The research makes a case for the re-conceptualisation of copyright administration to address rigidities and inadequacies existing under the current Copyright Act. This amelioration of deficiencies in the current Act can be achieved through copyright reforms and the passage of subsidiary legislation.
