These regional organisations were established, as there was a need to harmonize the law of creative work. The following are challenges Africa faces: Granting patents in Africa are low, thus an incentive in the region is required. Underdevelopment is a real crisis, thus assisting and promoting Africa is an objective. It is therefore imperative that appropriate laws lead to an enabling environment and laws needed to assist inventors and businesses are required. African countries are therefore engaged to develop strategic plans regarding intellectual property. This was done by developing a profile of intellectual property by means of surveys submitted to businesses, government institutions universities and SMMEs. The objective of data revealed why intellectual property was not being utilised. This information led to the creation up of approximately 40 Committees to bring about training programmes and their aim was to use the data in order to develop a strategic plan for each country to implement. The strategic goal would be inline with those of WIPO which essentially are the following: (a) Promotion of an IP culture; on the one hand, to encourage creators and innovators to obtain, use and license IP rights and assets, and, on the other hand, to seek greater respect by the public for IP rights and assets. This will include making resources and expertise available to assist Member States in their own efforts to develop an IP culture through cooperation with governments, intergovernmental organizations and partners in private sectors. (b) Development of balanced international IP laws which are: responsive to emerging needs; effective in encouraging innovation and creation; and sufficiently flexible to accommodate national policy objectives. (c) Provision of consistent and customized assistance to Member States in developing national/regional IP systems, including legal infrastructure, institutional framework and human resources. (d) Enhancement of global protection systems to make them more easily accessible and affordable to all stakeholders, in particular. (e) Further streamlining of the management and administrative processes within WIPO to intensify efforts to achieve greater efficiency as well as the initiation of improved monitoring and evaluation systems to examine the achievement of expected results. The ultimate goal here is for government to validate and adopt the strategic plan as developed for them specifically. Mechanisms will be put in place for its success in each country. Five countries have been selected for the audit and SA is one of them, even though South Africa did not complete it. It is anticipated that with the collaboration of the Department of Science and Technology intellectual property will be developed in South Africa. What is foreseen are intellectual creations.
