There have been several Cyber Security Capacity Building initiatives, to improve Rwandan cyber-security capabilities including the development and implementation of education and training programs in cyber and information security; collaboration and partnership with international cyber security agencies to ensure knowledge and skills transfer; and training programs for trainers. Although these initiatives are remarkable, there are still areas that require more and improved skills in order to meet the needs of all public and private sector stakeholders. It is also important to establish a cyber-security culture and increase awareness among citizens. 1.5. PRINCIPLES In order to align strategic objectives with current government efforts and the international community, the development of the National Cyber Security Policy of Rwanda followed these fundamental principles:  National Leadership – The scale and complexity of cyber security requires strong national leadership;  Roles & Responsibilities – All ICT users including government, businesses and citizenry should take reasonable steps to secure their own information and information systems, and have an obligation to respect the information and systems of other users;  Public-Private Collaboration – A collaborative approach to cyber security across government and the private sector is essential and crucial;  Risk-Based Management – There is no such thing as absolute cyber security. Rwanda must therefore apply a risk-based approach to assessing, prioritizing and resourcing cyber security activities; to be revised as among other based  Rwandan Values – Rwanda pursues cyber security policies that protect the society, the economy and the national vision;  International Cooperation – The cross-border nature of threats makes it essential to promote international cooperation. Rwanda supports and actively contributes to the international cyber security activity. 8
