dc.descriptionThe Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) launched the Guideline for a Model Law on Cybersecurity of African Union Member States during the 17th Internet Governance Forum (IGF) held in Addis Ababa. The model guideline is expected to provide guidance to synergize an intercontinental cyber norm that enables African member states to take proactive measures in countering cyber threats. The draft guidelines indicated some key areas that policymakers and legal experts could explore in suggesting member states implement the Lomé Declaration through national legislative processes. It is to be recalled that on 23rd March 2022, African Heads of State and Government adopted the Lomé Declaration on Cybersecurity and the Fight Against Cybercrime in Africa to ensure cybersecurity takes top priority at the highest level of governance. Jean-Paul Adam, Director of Technology, Climate Change and Natural Resource Management Division at ECA noted: ‘the introduction and implementation of cybersecurity laws is an essential component of regional response to the promotion of cybersecurity in Africa’. He further mentioned that ‘ECA’s continued support to enhance interoperability and regional integration efforts such as the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), can be further reinforced through the implementation of such common guiding principles on cybersecurityen
