URSB conducts oversight visit to URRO and UFMI

The team from the Department of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights, recently conducted a scheduled visit to the Uganda Federation of Movie Industry (UFMI) premises and to the Uganda Reproduction
Rights Organisation (URRO) as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen our oversight role, engagement with CMOs and assess the implementation of copyright-related operations.

The exercise aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of copyright management practices, identify areas for improvement, and ensure alignment with national copyright policies and regulatory frameworks. The URSB team interacted with the two CMOs staff and management, reviewed operational procedures, and
assessed progress on compliance, governance, licensing, enforcement, and rights management systems.

Key focus areas included; Assessment of licensing and royalty distribution processes, Evaluation of data
management and reporting structures, Review of stakeholder engagement and awareness efforts, Identification of challenges affecting performance and sustainability.

The visit provided an opportunity for open dialogue, where URSB, UFMI and URRO reaffirmed their commitment to advancing copyright protection and promoting a transparent and accountable creative sector. Recommendations arising from the exercise will guide future actions and support capacity building initiatives within these CMOs.
