Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative Consortium

The Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative (CCI) unites 35 international organisations, including Interpol, OAS, Council of Europe (CoE), Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) and ITU, contributing to multidisciplinary programmes in Commonwealth countries. These organisations form the CCI Consortium.

On receiving a request from a member state, the CCI deploys a mission team, including at least one technical and one criminal justice expert. They are drawn from the consortium members who are best placed to donate these resources.

A gap analysis is conducted using the CCI Checklist from which a needs assessment report is produced. The outcomes of this report are agreed with the member state which outlines its priorities and capacities for reform. The consortium is then asked to make commitments to meet these needs.
