During a two year period from October 2020 to September 2022, the FCDO, through the Trust & Resilience pillar of the Digital Access Programme (DAP), is implementing projects to improve cyber capability and reduce harm in five countries – Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Indonesia. These contribute to the UK’s vision of ‘thriving, open digital societies powered by trusted technologies, with the UK leading efforts to uphold a free, open, peaceful and secure cyberspace’.
