A. Background About GIZ Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is the German development agency and provides global services in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development.

About the Postquantum Cryptography Project Much of today’s digital economy relies on encryption to protect personal, commercial, and government information. Advances in quantum computing could eventually make some of the cryptographic methods currently used to protect this information vulnerable. The challenge is particularly relevant for information that must remain confidential for many years. Sensitive information intercepted today could potentially be stored and decrypted in future once sufficiently capable quantum computers become available. Preparing early gives Kenya an opportunity to assess these risks, develop domestic expertise and avoid a costly or rushed transition later. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Resea
