The West and Central Africa Research and Education Network (WACREN) and the Open CSIRT Foundation (OCF) have signed a three-year cooperation agreement to build and strengthen computer security in the research and education network (REN) space in the West and Central African region. 

After a competitive selection process with over 850 applications, the AfricaConnect3 project was selected as one of the 100 projects to be showcased at the third edition of the Paris Peace Forum 2020.
