In a first-of-its-kind initiative to foster inclusivity within the creative industries, the Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA) has announced an open call for the Levy on Technical Devices Fund (LTDF) for people who are blind or partially sighted.

CIPA said in a recent statement that it is collaborating with the Botswana Association for the Blind and Partially Sighted (BABPS) to ensure that its members have full information on the open call, the fund objectives and to facilitate their participation.

The closing date for this open call is May 10 and Braille application forms may be collected at the CIPA or BABPS offices.
