摘要

This paper initiates a conversation on how Africa can achieve Sustainable Development Goal(SDG)9 through an effective intellectual property system.In the main,the paper explores some of Africa’s intellectual property frameworks in the light of the innovations taking place within the continent.We contend that an effective intellectual property system that recognizes intellectual property rights is key in driving progress in all societies.Consequently,Africa needs a robust intellectual property framework which guarantees the rights of intellectual creators.
