Current Practices and Challenges at Government Level
Objectives: In response to the problem of counterfeit ICT devices, some countries have adopted measures and deployed solutions, aided by conformity policies, not only to deter the entrance and circulation of counterfeit products but also to identify and remove these illegal products from their markets. This session aims to demonstrate some of these approaches so other countries’ solutions could be tailored to be more effective for their needs.
