The Human Rights and Justice Group International (Kabissa profile) entry "Campaign Against Cyber Crime (CAC)" was selected as finalist under economic development for the Stockholm Challenge Award 2008.

The finalists have been selected from the excellent collection of ICT projects that have competed for the Stockholm Challenge 2008 six category awards and all are invited to come to Stockholm to participate in all parts of the event, show their work and meet with peers and many others who devote their time, skills and interest to ICT for development.

We look forward to winning the final trouphy which I believe will take our Cyber Crime Project and ICT projects to a new level.
