5 Ws of Cybersecurity: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project will leverage a cybersecurity public awareness campaign over SMS and social media, a series of cybersecurity lectures at American Spaces, and engagements with U.S. cybersecurity experts. Subject to availability of funds, the project will be scaled up later through use of traditional media. The project will build the capacity of the participants to understand the 5 Ws of –cybersecurity: • What is cybersecurity? • When cybersecurity is breached, what are the ramifications? • Who is at cybersecurity risk? • Why is cybersecurity important? • Where can a victim of cybersecurity violations seek help or legal redress? The project supports the Embassy's strategic goals of strengthening capacity to prevent and respond to threats of crime, to counter violent extremism, and to contribute to regional peace and security particularly targeting at-risk youth. The project will demonstrate how cybersecurity impacts a nation's state of health, economic prosperity, and democratic space. It will also promote cybersecurity dialogue at American Spaces. Ideal partners include organizations that specialize in messaging and amplification leveraging on technology. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Public Affairs of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to design and implement a program to strengthen capacity to prevent and respond to cybersecurity threats. Priority Region: Nairobi Program Objectives: The project implementers will identify youth at risk and strengthen their capacity to prevent and respond to threats of cybersecurity.
