TAP-EDM is a four-year C$18,750,000-million-dollar project funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and managed by Alinea International. About the work: The COVID-19 pandemic generated a significant increase in connectivity worldwide, which gave rise to new cybercrimes putting women, girls and vulnerable populations at greater risk. This situation has highlighted the need for the Ministry of Security of the Argentine Republic to promote the deepening and strengthening of cybersecurity in gender issues through the Directorate of Cybercrime Investigations, an area with competence in this matter. In recent years, the Cybercrime Investigations Directorate of the Argentine Ministry of Security has implemented several cybercrime awareness campaigns and has provided training to more than 420 prosecutors and members of the police and security forces (at the national and provincial levels). An area of particular interest to the Cybercrime Investigations Directorate relates to online child sexual exploitation (including child pornography and child abuse images), where they have identified the existence of strong networks of criminal organizations that produce, transmit and market child sexual exploitation images online, which are very difficult to detect, investigate and prosecute. The Ministry of Security has expressed interest in receiving Canadian technical assistance to strengthen the country's capacity to investigate cybercrime, particularly those in which women and girls are most vulnerable, as well as to generate better inclusion of a gender perspective in the work of law enforcement officials in this field, as part of the Strengthening Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Investigation (ForCIC) program. For the past ten years, Canada has been implementing a national strategy to combat cybercrime, with a particular focus on online child sexual exploitation, improving its capacity to conduct investigations into online child sexual exploitation, identify victims and remove them from abusive situations, and bring offenders to justice, including those who offend abroad. The Role The objective of this initiative is to strengthen the capacity of the Cybercrime Investigations Directorate of the Ministry of Security by providing comprehensive training on best practices, strategies and tools related to the detection, investigation and prosecution of cybercrime, with a special focus on online child sexual exploitation cases. In this context, the Canadian Expert on Cybercrime and Online Child Sexual Exploitation shall: 1. Develop a detailed work plan, in close consultation with the Cybercrime Investigations Directorate of the Ministry of Security and Alinea International staff, and prepare technical documents, training materials and a final report of the Initiative. 2.
