Georgetown : During the recently concluded Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the leaders acknowledged that the world was evolving from an information society to becoming a global internet/digital economy characterised by the strategic use of knowledge and creativity. They also acknowledged that the knowledge economy had changed how economies create value, and how and what jobs are created.
Heads of Government therefore agreed that ICT issues would receive focussed attention at the Twenty-Fifth Inter-Sessional Meeting of the Conference in 2014 to be held in St Vincent and the Grenadines in the first quarter of the year.
In that regard they mandated that the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) ICT meet urgently under the Chairmanship of the Lead Head of Government with responsibility for ICT to consider the ICT Action Plan, the proposal for a Single CARICOM ICT Space and other relevant ICT issues and make recommendations to the Twenty-Fifth Inter-Sessional Meeting.
