The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), subregional headquarters for the Caribbean would like to thank you for your contribution in response to our online survey on measuring the digital society. We have completed the study and now invite you to participate in an Expert Group Meeting to review our findings. You may recall that this research aims to advance the ongoing discussions regarding measurement in the Caribbean subregion by building on the outcomes of the previous workshop jointly organized by ECLAC and the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU).

The meeting will be convened virtually via Zoom on Monday 18 September 2023 from 1000 hrs to 1200 noon (UTC-4), to review the draft study. The discussions will focus on the methodology utilized, as well as the findings presented; identify strengths and weaknesses, and propose recommendations to further strengthen the study.
