This report provides a structured analysis of the evolving international cyber capacity-building (CCB) ecosystem, highlighting both its progress and persistent challenges.
Over the past decade, CCB has emerged as a key mechanism for international cooperation, helping countries strengthen cyber resilience and fostering global partnerships. It explores how CCB efforts have developed within separate policy communities—such as international security, criminal justice, and ICT development—leading to inefficiencies and operational fragmentation.
However, despite widespread consensus on its importance, efforts to scale, coordinate, and enhance the effectiveness of CCB remain fragmented. Ultimately, this report seeks to deepen the understanding of ideological and operational divides in CCB, assess their impact on effectiveness, and outline pathways for more cohesive and impactful international cooperation.
