Why cyber capacity building?
In an increasingly connected world that relies heavily on technology, and where cyber threats continue to expand both in number and complexity, robust cyber capacity is critical. International resources and collective investments in resources, knowledge and skills are key to ensure a free, open and resilient digital future, where no country is left behind in their digital transition.
GC3B 2025 Program
The GC3B 2025 program will be focused on the implementation of the Accra Call – the outcome document of the first GC3B in Accra, Ghana, in 2023, consisting of a set of actions towards promoting cyber capacity building and supporting broader sustainable development goals. Sessions will tap into the lessons learned, the achievements made, and the opportunities that have arisen in the wake of new emerging technologies.
