        Major aims of Matambalya 2005(a), (b)

    IPRs in developing countries
  o Gathering of ideas for designing 
    methodology to for more comprehensive 
    mapping of IPRs in developing copuntries

      B. SIMPLE METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING  IPS
  • Rationale: IPR situation and dynamics in developing 
    countries differ substantially from those in developed 
    countries 
  • Methodology for analysis (quantitatively and 
    qualitatively) the benefits of IPS in developing 
    countries
        o
  •       Identification and broad clustering of key actors
    Methodology covered:
        o
          Determination of appropriate instrumentation 
      (primary 
        Data, secondary data, expert interviews)
        o
          Sampling
        o
          Implementation plan
