About ACTA-GM
ACTA-GM, a forum for action and cooperation in the service of protection
ACTA-GM (Anti Counterfeiting Trade Africa & Greater Maghreb) is a non-profit platform bringing together rights holders, institutions and authorities to strengthen intellectual property protection and combat counterfeit trade across Africa and beyond.
Building on four years of regional cooperation developed through AfriPI, ACTA-GM continues this momentum through practical solutions, stronger partnerships and field expertise adapted to today’s intellectual property challenges.
As counterfeit networks continue to evolve, particularly through the increasing shift toward illicit local production, we work alongside governments, customs authorities and rights holders to protect markets, innovation and consumers.
Cooperation. Training. Awareness. Action.
