Theme 2026: United Against Counterfeiting — Securing Markets, Strengthening Trust, Protecting People
Counterfeiting drains over $90 billion from African economies each year — threatening public safety, undermining manufacturers, weakening tax revenue, and eroding confidence in legitimate trade.
From fake medicines and industrial parts, to tampered packaging, ID fraud, and illegal online sales, the threat spans products, documents, systems, supply chains, and digital platforms.
