Research Methodology


The ACA2K in-country research methodology has two main components: a doctrinal review and impact assessment interviews. By combining the findings from these two research components, supplemented by a secondary literature review, ACA2K researchers have been able to generate a picture of each study country's 'copyright environment' (the interaction between laws and practice).

  • Country Reports

Each ACA2K country research team has prepared a Country Report outlining the findings of the doctrinal review and impact assessment interviews as specified in the ACA2K Methodology Guide.

Egypt | Ghana | Kenya | Morocco | Mozambique | Senegal | South Africa |
Uganda

  • Executive Policy Briefs
As well as preparing a Country Report based on research results, each ACA2K country team has prepared an Executive Policy Brief to highlight key findings and the legal, regulatory and policy recommendations that emerge from these findings.

Egypt | Ghana | Kenya | Morocco | Mozambique | Senegal | South Africa | Uganda


  • Comparative Review

The project is also generating a Comparative Review report looking at research findings across the ACA2K study countries, and this report will be available online in late 2010.
