| dc.description | African leaders commit to tackling cybercrime and enhancing digital safety. A two-day summit of African heads of state and government on cybersecurity ended on Thursday, adopting a continental declaration to improve cybersecurity and aggressively fight against cybercrime in Africa.
Togo President, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe, told the summit about the need for “developing synergies to fight crime in the digital ecosystem, a revolution of our time that opens remarkable opportunities for humanity,” a UNECA statement quoted Gnassingbe as saying.
Vera Songwe, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the ECA, on her part, stressed that each African nation creates its own National Cybersecurity Program amid the worrying nature of cybersecurity, cybercrime, and the inadequacy of a regulatory framework on cybersecurity and data protection in Africa. “Africa offers a wealth of economic opportunities in virtually every sector,” Songwe said. She emphasized that the digital economy represents a key asset to unlock these opportunities by accelerating development outcomes through Africa’s demographic dividend. | en |
