Digital Agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean

eLAC2018

The Digital Agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean (eLAC2018) is a platform for regional cooperation with the mission to strengthen digital policies, addressing technology challenges and the transition towards a knowledge based society. The Digital Agenda consolidate a set of regionally-focused actions designed to act on critical factors that condition the digital ecosystem, such as institutional and regulatory issues, broadband deployment, skills and content development. This agenda sets out 23 interdependent and complementary objectives that will produce mutually reinforcing results, mapped into five areas of action: (i) access and infrastructure; (ii) digital economy, innovation and competitiveness; (iii) e-government and citizenship; (iv) sustainable development and inclusion; and (v) governance. eLAC2018 was adopted in 2015 at the fifth Ministerial Conference on the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean, held in Mexico City. The first regional action plan was adopted in 2005 in Rio de Janeiro at the Preparatory Ministerial Conference for the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society.
