Abstract

A pilot initiative of the Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Centre (LACNIC), the project seeks to create enabling conditions for young Haitians to find employment in the digital economy by addressing skills and infrastructure deficits. The demand study identifies opportunities for greater fluidity in digital data markets between Haiti and abroad, focussing on remote work to enable greater participation in the global digital economy as well as fostering inclusive growth. This is an in-depth report that includes a literature review, project methodology, and analysis in advance of various competency areas and barriers to participation, prior to project implementation.
