    Description

    Lightning talk (20-30 mins) from US & UK practitioners on experiences delivering a wide range of cybercrime capacity building projects across Africa. Speakers will cover: - Cybercrime capacity building introduction (what is it? why do it?) - Experience delivering capacity building projects in Africa - with specific case studies - Successes (including operational successes as a result of support) - Areas for improvement & lessons learned - Q&A / audience feedback

    The session will be simple and accessible for online audience members to follow along, given it is a presentation using slides. We will start the Q&A with online questions - which the online moderator will read out to presenters. We will then move to questions in the room. We will share the slides and presenter contact details to anyone interested in learning more about CCB in Africa. For those online, we will ask for emails in the session chat bar which the online moderator will collect. We will then distribute the slides to those emails subsequently.
