Actions: 4.5.1.1 Coordinate Senegal's involvement and strengthen its collaboration with other States and regional and international partners in cybersecurity, especially in fighting cybercrime. 4.5.1.2 Participate actively in regional and international cybersecurity activities, especially in fighting cybercrime. 5 MANAGING AND MONITORING IMPLEMENTING SNC2022 5.1 Roles and responsibilities The Government of Senegal is fully aware how essential governance and an institutional framework are for cybersecurity, based on the collective responsibility of all stakeholders to protect IT systems, networks, critical installations, data and users. This section defines the roles and responsibilities of the key players involved in implementing SNC2022 clearly. The people who live in Senegal are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to protect the data, software, IT hardware and systems which they own or use in their professional or private life. This is essential for Senegal, given that individuals account for a considerable proportion of our population in cyberspace, and could be an effective line of defence in cyberspace against those who wish us harm, but could also make us vulnerable. Organisations in Senegal use connectivity and technology as an integral part of their business; they own and operate digital systems, provide digital services and hold personal data. So their responsibility is to protect the resources they have and use and ensure the continuity and security of the digital services they provide. With this in mind, it is vital that businesses and other organisations use all the standards and practices available to protect all personal data they hold and ensure their security and ability to withstand and survive anything which happens to their systems or services. The Government of Senegal's responsibility is to protect our citizens from harm and bring all criminals to justice. It is also responsible for protecting Senegal against cyberthreats to its national security and critical infrastructures critiques; and, as it provides digital services itself and holds data too, the Government must take strict measures to protect this data and its information systems. As for Senegal's CIIs in providing essential services at national level, and although some of these CIIs or services may be held or operated by the private sector, at the end of the day, the Government is responsible for ensuring that our country is strong and can continue providing the services and functions everyone in Senegal needs. The Government also has a duty to advise and inform organisations and citizens on what they need to do to protect themselves online and issue standards organisations must comply with. The Government must also manage creating an environment which promotes a dynamic, innovative cyber sector in Senegal in which our educational system produces human resources who are able to meet the present and future needs of cybersecurity in Senegal. In a nutshell, the Government of Senegal is responsible for implementing our national cybersecurity strategy. A monitoring and evaluation committee chaired by the Minister for Digital Matters will be set up to monitor and evaluate the impact of implementing SNC2022 to assess and resolve any operational obstacles we encounter and assess the impact and results of SNC2022 in the long term. 21
