Funding While various entities have already begun work in the region in terms of Cyber Security and Cybercrime, this Action Plan seeks to facilitate and enable a coordinated approach to these efforts. Activities already completed or in progress would have already received funding from various sources. It is anticipated that national governments and corporate entities will fund some of the country specific needs. However, this comprehensive Action Plan will provide additional justification for regional agencies (including members of the Steering Committee) when they seek international funding for regional projects not currently funded. Preliminary discussions have already been conducted with some funding agencies by the Steering Committee and some initial indications of their areas of interest collected and collated. 10. Time Line It is expected that with concerted efforts of the key stakeholders, the activities outlined in this action plan can take place within five (5) years. Its achievement will certainly be affected by a number of factors including the availability of resources (finance, human and technical) the support of multiple stakeholders. While some estimated timeframes have been assigned, the Steering Committee will make use of the monitoring and review elements as outlined in item 8 above to ensure that all activities are coordinated in accordance with this Action Plan and that the needs as outlined are appropriately addressed.
