Abstract

This policy workshop supported the process of designing a strategic plan to address ICT for development in the Caribbean. It provided training in policy development and advocacy towards effectively influencing decision-making on ICT4D policies at the regional level, as well as in respective Caribbean countries. It resulted in identification of major policy issues in the region along with recommendations on policy measures and advocacy strategies that could address these issues. The Caribbean ICT Virtual Stakeholders’ Community (CIVIC) needs to include more regular training workshops in ICT policy development, and to consider collaborating with national organizations for country specific policy development training events.
