On Wednesday 24 August, 2022 – Friday 26 August, 2022 the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) will host the 18th Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIGF) online. This year, the 18th CIGF will feature a Caribbean Youth IGF (CYIGF) and the CIGF will also be held jointly with the inaugural Internet Governance Forum for Small Island Developing States (SIDS IGF). Having been discussed as a goal of the DC-SIDS for quite a few years, the SIDS IGF was catalysed by an intervention and offer of support by the CTU SG in 2021. Support for the idea grew given the realisation that SIDS worldwide share similar development challenges and there existed no collective IG forum that addressed SIDS-specific issues. The theme of CIGF 2022 is “Caribbean Internet Governance Priorities for Post-COVID ICT-Driven Development.”
