must address the need for a central coordinating body and work with a public private partnership model. III. RELEVANT PROVISION – ICT4AD Pillar 14 of the ICT4AD policy relates to Security Agencies using ICT to combat cybercrime. The pillar among other things places emphasis on capacity building, international cooperation and building infrastructure for security agencies to enable them use ICT to combat crime. Additionally, the pillar is to ensure that the legal text of the policy is up to date to help law enforcement agencies prosecute any cyber crime offenders. The Electronic Transaction Act (ETA) 2008 has specific legislation on cyber crime and prescribes punishment for cyber crime perpetuators. The Act addresses issues on the fight against cyber crime. The Data Protection Act which has been passed by the Parliament of Ghana ensures protection of private data of government, citizens and businesses in Ghana. The Pillar 14 and the ETA fail to capture a holistic approach to securing the cyber space as a means of mitigating cyber incidences that may affect the ability of citizens to create wealth. The several on-going initiatives which are not coordinated makes it impossible to know what different agencies of Government, academia and business are doing to enhance cyber security. A National Cyber Security framework covering policy and implementation strategy done holistically will ensure coordination and greatly enhance the national cyber security of Ghana. 17 | P a g e National Cyber Security Policy & Strategy
