Abstract
This policy brief provides an overview of conditions in Ghana relative to copyright law and regulation. African Copyright and Access to Knowledge (ACA2K) investigates the relationship between copyright and access to knowledge in eight African countries: Ghana, Egypt, Mozambique, Kenya, Morocco, Uganda, Senegal and South Africa. In ACA2K study countries, existing laws and practices potentially undermine access to knowledge by jeopardising the sustainability of the entire copyright system. This study contributes to the development of a legal, regulatory and practical environment that can increase the scope of access to teaching and learning materials in Ghana.
