SUMMARY:Workshop on Effective Legal Frameworks for Building the Digital Economy
DESCRIPTION:THE COMMONWEALTH CONNECTIVITY AGENDA    \nCommonwealth Leaders adopted the Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda (CCA) at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in April 2018\, with a view to boosting trade and investment links across the Commonwealth and raising intra-Commonwealth trade to US$2 trillion by 2030. The CCA is structured around five (5) clusters/working groups\, each of which is chaired by a member state and in which members participate on a voluntary\, opt-in basis. The topics of focus of the various working groups have originated in members themselves and are as follows: – \n\nPhysical Connectivity focusing on digital infrastructure and led by the Gambia\nDigital Connectivity focusing on digital transformation and the digital economy and co-led by South Africa and the United Kingdom\nRegulatory Connectivity focusing on the regulatory environment for MSMEs and led by Barbados\nBusiness-to-Business Connectivity focusing on improving Commonwealth business links and dialogue between public and private sectors\, led by Bangladesh\, and\nSupply Side Connectivity focusing on leveraging digitalisation into the agricultural and fisheries sectors and led by Vanuatu\n\nEach Cluster serves as a platform for knowledge sharing among member states of the Commonwealth so that Commonwealth countries can effectively learn from the policy successes and failures of other members. \nIn light of the growing importance of creating strong and resilient digital economies and the correlative need to create an adequate enabling environment through the creation of effective and cohesive legal frameworks\, the CCA is desirous of partnering with CTU in order to deliver a three (3) day training workshop in relation to the development of legal frameworks within the region that support the digital economy. \n\nTarget Participants\n\nThe target audience for the Training Worksop comprises of key policy makers\, governmental officials\, senior ICT officials and technocrats as well as legal reform officers [Office of the Attorney General] involved in Information and Communications Technology and the digital trade/economy spheres.

SUMMARY:Digital Leadership in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Venue: Trinidad and Tobago \nIntroduction \nThe Caribbean region is continuing to show meaningful progress in the ways in which governments conduct business and provide public services\, through the adoption of digital transformation strategies. According to the 2022 United Nations E-Government Development Index (EGDI)\, all member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) surveyed\, except Haiti\, placed in the “High” development group1. Nevertheless\, citizen impatience with the pace of digital reforms and their ongoing preference for accessing public services through non-digital channels continue to be formidable challenges\, requiring more ambitious and nuanced digital transformation agendas. To deliver on these new agendas\, regional knowledge exchanges on digital policy development\, that leverage the successes and insights gained from each country’s journey\, are critical. \nThe Ministry of Digital Transformation in Trinidad and Tobago (MDT)\, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago\, in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU)\, wishes to create an enabling space for the region’s most senior policymakers with portfolio responsibility for digitalisation\, in which they can address collaboratively some of the most common impediments faced in the digital transformation of the state. By contributing\, from their unique set of competencies\, knowledge and professional experiences\, these executives will learn from each other and enhance the knowledge base for Caribbean digital policy and practice. \n  \nWorkshop Objectives \nThe Executive Sessions will seek to: \n\nFacilitate a comprehensive understanding among executives of cross-border challenges and opportunities to advance digital transformation in the Caribbean;\nSupport strategy development for confronting and addressing impediments to public sector innovation at the regional\, national and organisational level; and\nChart joint action among the Ministers\, with support from the IDB and CTU\, in the areas of research and innovation to advance the digital agenda.\n\n  \nWorkshop Format  \nThe Executive Sessions will provide six (6) substantive sessions focusing on practical guidance on the most salient topics for Caribbean digitalisation such as (i) e-Identity and interoperability platforms; (ii) cybersecurity for critical infrastructure; and (iii) cross-border data governance. The Executive Sessions will feature in- person presentations by renowned digital thought leaders and offer a helpdesk setting where questions can be asked and answered confidentially2. Moreover\, they will foster an esprit de corps among the policymakers by facilitating peer exchanges on their digital policy successes that reflect the unique sensitivities\, strengths and institutional settings that typify the Caribbean experience. Policy makers will also have facilities available for technical advice in real-time\, by having their designated technical advisor(s) attending the sessions virtually. An open session with specially invited guests representing the region’s private sector and civil society will also allow policymakers to gain perspective on the imperatives of championing a more engaged and trusting digital citizenry. \n  \n1 See Publication: https://publicadministration.un.org/egovkb/en-us/Reports/UN-E-Government-Survey-2022 \n2 Chatham House Rules will be in effect for all closed sessions. \n  \nVIEW AGENDA
