 Welcome to CBS 2018 here in Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic. We're very pleased to be joining the studio today by Jennifer Britton, who is the Deputy Program Manager for the ICT for Development for CARICOM Secretariat. Jennifer, thanks for joining us in the studio. Thank you for having me. I'm delighted to be here. Now, here, basically, we've been hearing a lot of conversations about the importance of capacity-building programs for the digital economy. I wanted to hear your point of view on it. I'm delighted to be here, not just because it's in beautiful Santa Domingo, but more importantly because the Secretary, it works with 20 countries, the English-speaking Caribbean, and the issue of skills, much less digital skills, are tremendously important to us at this time. As you may know, we have lots of land space in the region, not enough people occupying that land space, and so as the scary numbers come out of the developed countries as to their skill-based needs by 2020 and 2030, obviously, this is something that we have to pay attention to. Part of the challenge is as well. We've done quite well with educational initiatives in the region, particularly under the MDGs, but now how do we re-profile ourselves and bring back that same energy to move it forward for the digital economy, for the CARICOM region? And what are the main challenges then for the region? The main challenges are, one, I think we have some cumbersome governance processes which take a long time for decisions to be made, and then we as well, I think, and it may have come out a bit in my presentation yesterday, that the policy issues sometimes are always in contention almost with the action issues. So do we just start to develop young people in kindergarten or do we have to put a policy around it? And that's a challenge in the sense that even for putting a policy around it, you need skilled people. So it's a hard before the horse, chicken before the egg type of situation which keeps me up at night, but I think it's a delicious challenge which with sustained and strategic partnerships can be achieved in the region in good time. And what are the policy implications for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the agenda for 2030? Yeah, I think it's a bit of the same what I just answered in the sense that with the every day a new issue and potential crisis arrives on our doorstep, and particularly we are in an environmentally vulnerable place in the world. So while we may be thinking about serious issues like digital skills, there may be a flood which wipes out a whole village and in some cases a whole country. And so our attention has to be turned that way because collectively is how we really treat with challenges and celebrations. So we are going to have to work out very, very again strategically how do we plan for the SDGs in light of the things that are happening in the ocean and in the sky and sea above us. So the same thing pertains though because which policy should take precedence. Right away people will be saying the climate change and the blue economy policies but we do need to even have people to man those the capacity and it is just one of the things where we have to sit around the table and really make sure we have everybody at the table to make sure that the policies are almost going forward for want of a better word and not to be draconian almost at the same time. Well thank you very much for being at the table here and in the studio with us today and wish you the very best of luck with the rest of the symposium and of course in the future as well. Thank you very much. I am tremendously happy to have had this opportunity. Thank you. Cheers.
