There is no development without security and no security without development. This applies equally to cyber resilience and digital development. Although capacity building and international cooperation are recognized as a key pillar of the framework for responsible state behaviour, there is a risk that they receive little attention amidst other competing development priorities such as access to food, water or eradication of poverty. A clear roadmap is needed to bridge existing divides between different policy communities, ensure that their actions are mutually reinforcing and that they contribute to achieving the SDGs.

  • How can different policy communities work better together to ensure that international security concerns and development goals are better connected in their capacity building actions?
  • How can international cooperation mechanisms be used to promote implementation of the framework for responsible state behavior in cyberspace?
