As part of its series of training workshops, from 6 to 9 December the GLACY+ project, in cooperation with the OCWAR-C project, held a training course on cybercrime and electronic evidence for a select group of Ghanaian judges and prosecutors.
The training provides for a better understanding of the ever-changing cyber world and was designed to help judges, magistrates and prosecutors to prosecute and adjudicate cybercrime cases more effectively. It is expected that some of the judges and prosecutors attending the course will join the existing pool of national trainers in Ghana. The course was delivered with the support of the Ghanaian trainers, previously trained under GLACY+ project.
This course facilitated the understanding of the provisions of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, and other concepts related to digital evidence and international cooperation. It included cases studies and practical exercises in small groups to ensure the theorical aspects had been assimilated.
The activity is part of a broader capacity building on cybercrime in the ECOWAS region. Similar activities were delivered earlier this year in Benin and Senegal.
This programme will also serve as a basis for further activities within the framework of the International Network of Judicial Trainers on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence.
