Abstract

The Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law (CIPIT) is an independent center operating within the Research and Innovation Department, Strathmore University (Nairobi, Kenya) and now separate from the Law School. Regarding the broader ICT community which includes governmental policy makers, practitioners, and average citizens, a primary point of engagement for CIPIT is its database for ICT laws and policies in Africa (www.ictpolicy.org). The impact of cyberspace on so-called “illiberal” African governments (and vice-versa) is currently a topic critical to civil society, businesses, human rights and democracy activists. The report provides an update on CIPIT activities and aims.
