Development: internet access and capacity development to utilise the potential offered by cyberspace to promote growth, prosperity and security for all Norway has an important global role to play in supporting capacity-building in the cyber field in other countries and regions, in line with several of the UN’s sustainable development goals as defined in Agenda 2030. Developing countries must be given greater opportunity to benefit from the possibilities presented by the internet, and be enabled to deal with digital challenges and threats. To achieve these objectives, the Government will: • Promote and support capacity-building in the cybersecurity field in developing countries. In this context, capacity-building includes institution-building (e.g. national telecommunications authorities and national computer emergency response teams (CERTs)), e-government, cybercrime investigative capacity, development of national electronic communications laws, innovative solutions for health and educational assistance, development of digital infrastructure and the establishment of warning systems. As part of these efforts, Norway will intensify its collaboration and dialogue with the EU on cybersecurity capacity-building in non-EEA countries. • Give greater emphasis to robust infrastructure and security and openness in cyberspace as part of the sustainable development agenda, in the context of the Government’s global efforts to combat poverty and promote trade, social and economic development, education, health care, human rights and democracy. Norway will also support achievement of the UN’s sustainable development goals relating to infrastructure and innovation. • In cooperation with international institutions, seek to enable more developing countries to exploit the opportunities offered by the internet for economic and social development, including job creation and access to educational and health services. This includes helping developing countries to improve internet access and building expertise and capacity to prevent, detect and deal with digital threats, cybercrime and illicit financial flows using online tools. In doing so, Norway will also contribute to achievement of the UN sustainable development goals relating to peaceful and inclusive societies. Norway will work with others to close the gap between women and men’s access to and use of the internet, to give women equal opportunity to participate economically and politically in social development. 11
