The Heads of Government agreed that developing a CARICOM digital economy is key to changing the economic profile of the Caribbean and supported the proposal to establish a Single ICT Space. In particular, the Heads agreed that the priority areas of focus in building the digital economy during the period 2014 to 2019 will include the following: a. The establishment of a CARICOM Single ICT Space to enhance the environment for investment and production; b. Bringing technology to the people and transforming them into Digital Natives and Digital Entrepreneurs; c. Cyber Security safeguards; d. Mobilisation of resources; and e. Developing the CARICOM Digital Agenda 2025. The Heads further agreed that in the years 2014 and 2015, priority regional attention would be given to: (i) (ii) The development of a Road Map for the CARICOM Single ICT Space to be undertaken through the ICT Cluster Agencies, senior ICT officials, lead agencies and the Commission on the Economy; and The elaboration of the CARICOM Digital Agenda 2025. 2. Purpose of this Document This document collates the views of Heads of Government and other stakeholders on the importance of a CARICOM Single ICT Space, elaborates a vision for an ICT-enabled borderless space and outlines a Roadmap for its establishment. The document draws from two 2014 white papers on the subject prepared by the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) as well as deliberations of recent regional fora, such as the Commonwealth Secretariat/CTU Caribbean Stakeholders’ Meeting (2014), specific sessions in the CTU’s 25thAnniversary Conference (2015) and CTU Consultations on the CARICOM Single ICT Space (2015). It was further refined through meetings and collaboration among the CARICOM’s ICT Cluster of agencies, namely, the CTU - the lead agency, the Caribbean Knowledge and Learning Network Agency (CKLNA), Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU), CARICOM Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), Caribbean Centre for Development Administration (CARICAD) and the CARICOM Secretariat. It is important to note that while this document expressly addresses priorities (a) and (i) identified by the Heads, noted above, it was recognised that certain aspects of the other priorities are integral to successfully implementing the CARICOM Single ICT Space, e.g. Cyber Security and users’ capacity building.
