The World Bank's Global Digital Development practice, in collaboration with the Deloitte firm, conducted a study over a period of nine (09) months to assess the maturity and risks related to cybersecurity in CAR and to define a roadmap aimed at strengthening cybersecurity resilience in the country. First, let us a better understanding of the context of the Central African Republic. In fact, #CAR s currently in the process of structuring its cybersecurity risk management process. Despite having a low rate of digitization of services, the CAR is laying the foundation for secure digital development by strengthening the legal and regulatory framework through the recent adoption of laws on cybersecurity and cybercrime, as well as on the protection of personal data. The Government also established the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCy), in addition to the Central African Agency for Digital Development (AC2D), to further enhance the country's governance, security, and acceleration of digital development. Furthermore, several projects funded by international development aid partners are being implemented to consolidate and digitize a number of administrative services in the CAR, such as civil registration etc. However, these initiatives and measures have not yet reached the necessary level of maturity to enable the country to have a robust capacity to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents and attacks. To all members of the digital international scientific market, investment community, and the Central African Republic diaspora, the present road map is among others, an evidence of the Government strategic investment in policies, procedures, human capital, infrastructures, and necessary resourceful to ensure a effective implementation and incubation of digital governance and innovation technology for the best interest of the country and our socioeconimic and diplomatic friends and partners. Your support and engagement in this endeavor are crucial as we strive to drive positive change and progress in the Central African Republic. Together, we can build a brighter future for our country and create a thriving environment for innovation, investment, and growth. #car #cybersecurity #worldbank #digitalinvestment #CentralAfricanrise #cargouvernment #innovationtechnology #scientificdiplomacy
