Closing Panel: Reflections on Trust, Resilience and Ways Forward for Cyber Capacity Building

What is the role of cyber capacity-building in achieving national goals and development outcomes, and what can we learn from the UK’s largest-ever overseas cyber capacity-building project? Join policymakers, practitioners and experts for networking and knowledge-sharing.

Around the world, more and more countries are harnessing digital transformation to contribute to national sustainable development goals and outcomes. There is increased recognition of the need to integrate cybersecurity considerations into the digital development agenda, to reduce the risks from the misuse of digital technologies and harness the opportunities of thriving, open societies powered by trusted technologies and a free, open, peaceful and secure cyberspace.

Against this backdrop, Chatham House is bringing together key stakeholders, practitioners, experts and decision-makers for a hybrid conference, learning from the experience of the UK’s largest-ever overseas cyber capacity-building project, the Digital Access Programme, implemented in Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia, Nigeria and South Africa.

The conference is a platform for sharing experience and knowledge about how international cybersecurity capacity building can support national sustainable development and cybersecurity outcomes, and the role of international partnerships.

Chatham House thanks the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for their support and KPMG for their partnership.
