This episode was recorded during the virtual session "Legislative Strategies to Strengthen Digital Identity Governance," organized by ParlAmericas' Digital Caucus in August 2024. In the session, Michelle Marius, Director at ICT Pulse, provided a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities for achieving inclusive digital transformation in the Caribbean, emphasizing the need for policies to address affordability, meaningful connectivity, and digital literacy to ensure equitable participation in the region's growing digital economy. Listen to Michelle Marius as she explores key issues hindering digital transformation in the Caribbean, including the digital divide, which disproportionately affects traditionally marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities, women, and those living in poverty. She also highlights important initiatives such as Barbados' National Transformation Initiative, the OECS Caribbean Digital Transformation Project, and Jamaica's National Identification System – all aimed at enhancing digital infrastructure and fostering a more resilient digital landscape.
