Evidence snapshot for Cuba
Cuba has implemented significant policy and institutional reforms across multiple sectors: Cuba's 2022 Family Code passed a national referendum with 66.85% support, introducing shared domestic responsibility between spouses, bans on sex and gender-identity discrimination, and raising the minimum marriage age to 18. Joven Club de Computación y Electrónica operates a network of 600+ free computer-training centres that has enrolled 4.55 million cumulative graduates since 1987, extending digital literacy to remote and mountainous regions. CIGB/BioCubaFarma holds 2,438 patents registered outside Cuba and sells products in 50+ countries, including COVID-19 vaccine technology transfers to four allied nations. Most recently, IA en el Aula launched a national teacher-training initiative on ethical generative AI use, though participant numbers and classroom impact remain unreported.
