LAC4 and EU CyberNet cooperation with Bolivia kicked off today with a workshop to assist Bolivia to develop their first national cybersecurity strategy.

Workshop, led by EU CyberNet experts Kadri Kaska and Liis Rebane and organized in cooperation with Bolivia’s Electronic Government and Information and Communication Technologies Agency (AGETIC), provided Bolivia’s cybersecurity stakeholders practical and actionable guidance on creating and implementing a robust and comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy. As to ensure strategy’s relevance and sustainability, experts emphasised the importance of stakeholder engagement, efficient governance and timely execution by drawing practical examples and success factors from their international experience.

We at LAC4 are happy to see Bolivia’s interest in learning from best practices from the European Union and focus on ensuring their digital resilience. We’re looking forward to this partnership with Bolivia to strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities.” – Merili Soosalu, LAC4 Programme Lead
