Kenya has made significant progress in the war against counterfeit goods, with a robust multi-agency approach being implemented, and a raft of legislation to ensure fake products do not impede the country’s development progress.

This has made monitoring of commodities difficult, together with border porosity and the rising volume of e-commerce.
