The Caribbean Open Institute (COI) is a regional coalition of individuals and organizations that promotes open development approaches to inclusion, participation, and innovation within the Caribbean, using open data as a catalyst. Our focus is on (i) advocacy, awareness, and engagement with public sector stakeholders on Open Government and Open Data; (ii) evidence of the potential impacts of Open Data initiatives through demand-side research initiatives in various thematic sectors; and (iii) capacity building in data literacy, competence, and application as an essential component of Caribbean development. The COI is a member of the Open Data for Development (OD4D) Network and as the regional hub for the Caribbean, is an active participant in the broad open data community, bringing the Caribbean’s nuanced voice to contribute to the global discourse and partnerships for sustainable development using data as a catalyst.
