About
The «Combatting Cybercrime» programme, initiated by the World Bank, is the result of a fruitful collaboration of the Korea-World Bank Group Partnership Facility.
At the heart of the programme is an Online Portal. It helps developing countries to address cybercrime by better equipping them to handle the policy, legal and criminal justice aspects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). With a toolbox for assessment and capacity building, the project helps developing countries reduce barriers to the development of e-commerce.
The portal offers 3 main tools:
- Toolkit synthesizing best international practices;
- Assessment Tool allowing countries to self-evaluate the current capacity to combat cybercrime and identify capacity-building priorities;
- Virtual Library of relevant publications.
