Stories of Impact
Preparing Stakeholders in Advance of Elections in Ukraine
The D4D Coalition engaged in a training-of-trainers on cybersecurity assessments that enabled future audits of at-risk political parties and civic organizations to occur across the post-Soviet region. While in the Ukraine, the Coalition also met with stakeholders about cybersecurity and disinformation threats in Eastern Europe. A cybersecurity workshop, based off this D4D resource, was held for 33 representatives of 10 political parties to better secure the digital political environment in the lead up to Ukraine’s 2019 elections.
