Progress towards the Accra Call – 2025 Review
At the second iteration of the GC3B in May 2025 in Geneva, progress towards the Accra Call for Cyber Resilient Development was reviewed. Two years after its launch in Ghana, the Accra Call continues to inspire action worldwide. With nearly 80 endorsers and dozens of pledges, it has become a blueprint to guide the growing cyber capacity building ecosystem, providing much-needed direction for mainstreaming cyber resilience into sustainable development.
We are pleased to take stock of this journey by sharing two flagship outputs:
- 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 “𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗮: 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹”: Reflections on progress, insights, and lessons learned from the community.
- 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Case studies showcasing how pledges are being turned into tangible impact across regions and sectors.
Key takeaways from the Process Report:
- The Accra Call has served to motivate, validate and accelerate action.
- It has inspired new initiatives and approaches to digital resilience.
- The Accra Call is driven by a bottom-up approach.
- It needs to be a dynamic instrument, as priorities evolve.
- The Accra Call needs to be a shared responsibility, as building cyber resilience demands sustained, whole-of-ecosystem engagement.
The Action Stories also present valuable case studies that illustrate the way in which various stakeholders are advancing cyber resilience, including governments, the private sectors, research institutions and civil society.
We are thrilled to share the new webpage, presenting the progress made towards the Accra Call: Explore it here.
Our gratitude to the GC3B Program Advisors Nayia Barmpaliou and Patryk Pawlak for capturing these lessons, and to the entire Accra Call community for your active contributions.
