The world has experienced significant technological advancements in the last decade which have led to a major shift in the way of life for most people around the globe. Most day to day activities are being carried out online including financial transactions.
Despite the numerous advantages that online transactions present, there is also a dark side that is little known to most technology users and that is rampant cyber-criminal activities. Cybercrime has become a major concern for most governments in the world and across Africa hence the need to equip prosecutors with up to date skills to investigate and prosecute these crimes.
Against this backdrop, AGA-Africa in partnership with the National Prosecution Authority, the Zambia Police, the Drug Enforcement Commission, and the Anti- Corruption Commission of Zambia held a 3-day “Cybercrime Laws and Treaties, Security and Investigation” workshop from 15th -17th March, 2022 in Lusaka Zambia.
The three-day workshop was aimed at equipping the participants with knowledge and skills on cybercrime laws and treaties, cyber security threats, digital forensics, evidence gathering and the standards and good practices in digital /forensic investigations. This will enhance their awareness as well as equipping them with the necessary tools to fight cybercrime activities in Zambia.
The training was officially opened by Fulata Lillian Shawa-Siyunyi Director of Public Prosecutions, Zambia and John Edozie, AGA-Africa International Advisor. Marshal Muchende, Solicitor General of Zambia delivered a keynote speech on behalf of Mulambo Hamakuni Haimbe, Minister of Justice for Zambia.
