The National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre (NC3) of Sierra Leone is hosting a five-day Interactive Workshop on Cybercrime and Electronic Evidence, as part of the countryโs efforts to strengthen its response to digital crime.
The training, which runs from 25 to 29 May 2026, is being delivered under the Global Action on Cybercrime Enhanced (GLACY-e) Project. It is organised in collaboration with INTERPOL, co-funded by the European Union, and implemented by the Council of Europe.
The workshop has brought together key stakeholders, including police officers, prosecutors, financial investigators, and cybersecurity experts. It aims to strengthen Sierra Leoneโs frontline response to cybercrime through practical, hands-on training sessions.
Participants are receiving instruction on handling electronic evidence, managing digital crime scenes, conducting cloud-based investigations, and applying international cooperation frameworks, including the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.

Experts say the training is critical in addressing the evolving nature of crime in the digital age, where traditional investigative methods are increasingly challenged by sophisticated cyber threats.
The initiative is expected to support the modernization of Sierra Leoneโs justice system by ensuring that electronic evidence is properly preserved, legally recognised, and effectively presented in court.
By embedding these skills into institutional practice, the workshop is expected to strengthen long-term cybercrime capacity-building nationwide.
The collaborative effort underscores Sierra Leoneโs commitment to securing its digital space through strengthened global partnerships and enhanced local expertise.
