Are you interested in the commonwealth Africa cyber fellowships? Read through the post below to find out how to apply before the deadline.
Cybersecurity is a vital issue in today’s digital world, where cyber threats and attacks pose serious risks to individuals, businesses, governments and international organizations. Moreover, cybercrime disproportionately affects developing countries, which often lack the resources and capacity to prevent and respond to cyber incidents.
To address this challenge, the Commonwealth Secretariat, in partnership with the United Kingdom’s International Development Office, launched the Commonwealth Africa Cyber Fellowship programme in 2022. The program aims to enhance cybersecurity policies and institutions across Commonwealth countries in Africa, by providing a unique platform for cybersecurity experts from different sectors and backgrounds to exchange knowledge, foster partnerships and influence the policy work of the Commonwealth Secretariat.
Selected experts will serve as fellows for a year. They get exclusive access to academic research opportunities, networking events and annual conferences, with a focus on enhancing cybersecurity policies and institutions across Commonwealth countries in Africa.
