It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Kevin Fitzgerald, Secretary General, International Authors Federation (IAF), on the sidelines of the @IFRRO World Congress 2026. I thank IAF for its support to @_ARIPO’s work on authors’ rights. Together, we will deepen collaboration on collective management, digital licensing, AI guidance that protects creators while enabling innovation, stronger advocacy, and capacity building for Member States. As ARIPO marks 50 years, our goal is clear: Africa’s creativity must deliver sustainable livelihoods. #AuthorsRights #ARIPOat50

In my goodwill message at the @IFRRO World Congress in Bogotá, Colombia, I made a clear case: AI must expand opportunity, not render creators invisible. No African creator should be disadvantaged because their work crosses a border. Rights must travel with the work. 50 years of @_ARIPO. 20 years of partnership with IFRRO. The test for the next chapter is simple: do creators feel the difference? In the age of AI, success means fair recognition and reward for creators, not just signed agreements. ARIPO is committed to delivering tangible results that secure sustainable livelihoods for creators. #Copyright #CreativeEconomy #AI #ARIPOat50

As emphasized by the @ARIPO Director General, @BemanyaT , creativity must be supported by systems that protect ownership, ensure fair remuneration, attract investment, and enable creators to earn a sustainable living from their work. @OWC_ug @UPRSOFFICE @URSBHQ @UNCC_UG

Copyright protection must go beyond creating awareness to ensuring that creators receive recognition and fair value for their work. Hear from the Ag. Registrar General @NtaleMustapher on why this conversation matters. 👇 #Copyright #CreativeEconomy #IP4Africa #ARIPOat50
