This publication aims to serve as a practical tool to assist interested stakeholders (mainly producers and policy-makers) in ACP countries to grasp the GI scheme. Intended to be understood by non-specialists, the manual explores the key issues concerning GIs, from the most important definitions to the legal options available to protect GIs and the operational aspects of setting-up sustainable GIs.
