GLACY+ (Global Action on Cybercrime Extended) is a Joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe.

GLACY+ is intended to extend the experience of the GLACY project (2013 – 2016) which supports seven priority countries in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region – Mauritius, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Tonga. These countries may serve as hubs to share their experience within their respective regions. Moreover, countries of Latin America and the Caribbean may now also benefit from project support.
