and Local Production of Pharmaceuticals for the Southern Central and
West African Region

7th - 9th December 2009 * Co-organised with United Nations Conference on
Trade and Development (UNCTAD); The Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development (BMZ); and Capacity Building International
(InWent)

The workshop is organized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD), the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ) and Capacity Building International (InWent) in
collaboration with the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable

of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
