About this ebook
Impact assessment/evaluation is done after a policy change to determine its impact or lack thereof. The report shows how the Business Advocacy Fund made a point of attempting to assess the impact made by KAM. Since 2008, KAM has been advocating for reforms to curb illicit trade. Illicit trade exposes local manufacturers to unfair competition, but also puts the general public at risk by exposing them to substandard or counterfeit goods whose suitability for use is not assured.

Impact Assessment KAM: Anti Counterfeit Implementation
1. Background
The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) is the representative organisation for manufacturing value-add industries in Kenya. In pursuit of its core mandate of policy advocacy, KAM promotes trade and investment, upholds standards, encourages the formulation, enactment and administration of sound policies that facilitate a competitive business environment and reduce the cost of doing business.
Since 2008, KAM has been advocating for reforms to curb illicit trade. Illicit trade exposes local manufacturers to unfair competition, but also puts the general public at risk by exposing them to substandard or counterfeit goods whose suitability for use is not assured.
Kenya has an extensive legislative framework to address counterfeiting, piracy, the protection of intellectual property rights and illicit manufacturing of goods. The framework includes the Anti-Counterfeit Act No. 13 of 2008, the Trademarks Act Cap. 506, Industrial Property Act No 3 of 2001, The Copyright Act No 12 of 2001, the Standards Act Cap. 496 and the Penal Code Cap. 63.

A counterfeit is a product that imitates the genuine one. Counterfeiting and piracy are the infringement of intellectual property rights. The vice is a global concern that denies intellectual property rights owners their deserved benefits. Products that are mostly counterfeited are fast-moving consumable goods including soap and detergents, food products, alcoholic beverages, dry cell batteries, pens, cosmetics, electrical and electronic equipment, vehicle spare parts, common medicine, shoe polish, seeds & fertilizers, apparel & software among others.
Illicit trade has continued to be a challenge, particularly for the manufacturing sector in Kenya with the infiltration of illicit goods into the market - as evidenced during the third quarter of 2018 where large consignments of sugar unfit for human consumption and substandard fertilizer were seized by authorities at the port of entry.
In 2008, KAM identified the issue of counterfeit goods as one of the biggest threats to growth in the manufacturing sector. The trademark owner is the most affected
