The Anti-Counterfeit Authority partnership approach in the war against counterfeits is multi-pronged. It is guided by the realization that there is need for collaboration both within relevant government agencies, private sector and development partners.

Inter-Agency cooperation leads to a coordinated approach that avoids duplicity of efforts by different Agencies and thus leads to optimal utilization of resources.

Since counterfeits affect all including the government, the participation of the private sector and development partners gives it an inclusive approach since all sector are a victims of this vice.
