This workshop will provide an overview of the activities of the partners in a cybercrime capacity building project and solicit feedback on project/partner activities from stakeholders.
The purpose of the Project is to build capacity among policy-makers, legislators, public prosecutors and investigators, and civil society in developing countries in policy, legal and criminal justice aspects of the enabling environment to combat “cybercrime”. The Project will do this by synthesizing international best practices in these areas in a published tool that enables assessment of and best practices guidance with respect to the legal issues associated with combatting cybercrime; and field testing the tool in selected pilot countries. It is expected that the tool will be made available as a global public good.
Main partners in the Project include: The Korea Supreme Prosecutors Office, Council of Europe, Oxford University’s Cyber-security Capacity Building Centre, International Association of Penal Law, UN ODC, UN ICRI, ITU, and UNCTAD. The Project is being led by the World Bank and is funded by a grant from the Government of Korea.
