This infographic introduces the findings from Study 112, focusing on the digital transformation journey across Caribbean nations. It highlights the varying stages of digital inclusion within countries like Anguilla, Aruba, Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, and others. The central aim is to ensure equal access to digital tools and technologies, addressing digital inequalities that mirror social inequalities, particularly in gender, migration, disability, and rural populations.

Key challenges for policymakers include broadband access, digital skills training, and cybersecurity. The infographic presents a five-step strategy to build a digitally inclusive Caribbean, emphasizing people-centered transformation, data-driven approaches, and enhancing digital literacy.
