CARIGEO, is a collaborative initiative that seeks to empower the countries and territories of the Caribbean to advance the greater use and sharing of geospatial and statistical information to support improved decision making for sustainable national and regional development.

The CARIGEO initiative is being built on the gains of the “Project for the Strengthening of Spatial Data Infrastructures in Member States and Territories of the Association of Caribbean States” (Caribbean Project) sponsored by the Government of Mexico with support from the Association of Caribbean States and the University of the West Indies, Campus St. Augustine, between 2014 and 2018. Importantly the CARIGEO initiative was designed to be aligned with the regional spatial data infrastructure objectives and global frameworks, such as the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF), the Global Statistical Geospatial Framework (GSGF), UNGEGN Resolution I/4 on National Standardization of Geographical Names, and the Strategic Framework on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters (E/RES/2018/14), which should ensure that projects to be implemented will be fit-for-purpose within the context of the Caribbean’s specific conditions.
