Context
The development objective of the Pacific Regional ICT Regulatory Development Project (P148238) was to strengthen the capacity of ICT Regulatory institutions in participating countries and enhance regional collaboration on regulatory issues. The primary beneficiaries of the Project were the Pacific island regulatory institutions.

A cybersecurity support component was added to the original design of the project to address a key regulatory priority in the region. This component was implemented by the University of the South Pacific.
Outputs
A Pacific model and set of tools and templates to assist the development of a National Cyber Security Master Plan.
