Responsible State Behavior in Cyberspace Capacity Building

CDP seeks to partner with a capable organization(s) to develop curriculum and provide capacity building for two complementary, yet distinct, focal areas that seek to improve international stability in cyberspace. In particular, the UN’s framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace and how international law applies to state conduct in cyberspace. Pending the availability of funds, CDP anticipates awarding 1-2 cooperative agreements, totaling $1,500,000. If one award, the cooperative agreement must address both Project Objectives 1 and 2. If two awards, each cooperative agreement would address either Project Objective 1 OR Project Objective 2. See Section A3: Project Objectives, Outcomes, Suggested Activities, and Indicators. The capacity building is intended to provide specialized and technical in-person programming to primarily but not limited to government officials from partner countries. Participants and audiences will be key stakeholders in cybersecurity and digital policy in their respective countries, regional or multilateral institutions. Capacity building activities are intended to take place globally, convening eight events per objective throughout the project period. Activities should offer a mix of in-person and virtual attendance. CDP will coordinate with award recipient to identify specific participating countries. The capacity building may take place in the United States and/or in other countries.
