IGF 2022: Workshop on Cybersecurity for Development in the 4IR

29 November, 2022
Conference Room 3, UNCC, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) in conjunction with the Government of Togo and with the participation of African Heads of Government and Representatives organised the 1st African Cybersecurity Summit in Lome on 23-24 March, 2022. The Summit produced the Lome Declaration leading to the establishment in Lome of the African Centre for the Coordination and Research in Cybersecurity (ACCRC). As a follow-up, UNECA commissioned a Research into Cybersecurity as an imperative for Development in the 4IR.

It is in this context that the UNECA will organize a side-event to review the Outcome of the Research into Cybersecurity for Development in the 4IR. It is expected that the result of the Research will spur all stakeholders, governments in particular to take national Cybersecurity maturity seriously to enhance GDP per capita and general national economic development towards the achievement of the SDGs 2030 and Africa 2063 Agenda.
