The Cybersecurity and New Technologies Programme has successfully kicked off its CTTECH+ initiative! This means that CTTECH+ support packages for our Partner States - Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Iraq, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan - were introduced and tailored to their needs. 

During the next months, through the CTTECH+ the Programme will:

Strengthen national counter-terrorism policies or strategies of CT TECH+ Partner States to include comprehensive approaches to countering the use of new technologies for terrorist purposes. CT TECH+ will work closely with Ghana, Iraq, Nigeria and Uzbekistan to support them in reviewing their national counter-terrorism strategies and developing policy responses to the most pressing challenges and opportunities that new technologies provide in countering terrorism. 

Strengthen the national technological capabilities of CT TECH+ Partner States’ law enforcement agencies to counter terrorism. This includes facilitating national consultations for Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Iraq and Nigeria to review their law enforcement capabilities for new technologies in countering terrorism and identify areas of improvement. The review shall enable Partner States’ governments to strategically prioritize investments into technological capabilities of their law enforcement agencies to adopt technologies for countering terrorism in a responsible, sustainable manner, where human rights are respected. At the same time, we will strengthen CT TECH+ Partner States’ law enforcement capabilities to conduct counter-terrorism investigations on the Internet, on darknet, on virtual assets and on the use AI for CT investigations.  

Improving selected Partner States’ international co-operation and public-private partnerships to use new and emerging technologies to counter terrorism. This includes organizing and running a CT TECH+ law enforcement operation towards the end of the initiative.  Also, a series of table-top exercises on public-private partnerships will be organized to foster law enforcement cooperation with private sector to counter the use of ICTs for terrorist purposes.

The Programme’s work under CTTECH+ is directly supporting implementation of Action #23b of the #PactfortheFuture, pursuing a future free from terrorism while addressing “the threat posed by the misuse of new and emerging technologies, including digital technologies and financial instruments, for terrorist purposes”.

#CTTECH+ is a joint and INTERPOL initiative, implemented under UNCCT Global Counter-Terrorism Programme on Cybersecurity and New Technologies and funded by European External Action Service (EU FPI)
