Abstract
External financial and technical support continues to play a key role in fostering open data initiatives in the region. This regional snapshot covers five Caribbean countries: Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago, Saint Lucia and Haiti. The highest-ranking Caribbean country globally is Jamaica at number 40. It was the only Caribbean country to improve its score since the last Open Data Barometer (ODB). In countries that recently launched open data portals such as Jamaica and Dominican Republic, the absence of systematic processes to provide consistent updates resulted in incomplete data that quickly became out of date and irrelevant.
