The 2023 Global Conference on Cyber Capacity Building (GC3B) focused on boosting action to mainstream cyber capacity building across the international development agenda. The event was co-organized by the World Bank, the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise, Cyber Peace Institute and World Economic Forum and hosted by the Government of Ghana.
The GC3B conference was a culmination of a two-year global partnership effort which helped increase World Bank’s visibility and role as a global thought leader in cyber resilience in developing countries and a development financing partner of choice for both donors and country clients. The event also culminated in the Accra Call for Cyber Resilient Development: An Action Framework during the opening ceremony, which was endorsed already by nearly 50 governments and leading organizations from across the globe.
