Abstract

The pace of the digital transformation of the Caribbean has increased rapidly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with more governments, businesses and individuals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) than ever before. However, as the digital realm has become more important, the cost of exclusion from it has also increased, and threatens to deepen inequalities in the subregion.
