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.
