Evidence snapshot for Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia has pursued digital transformation and economic development through multiple coordinated initiatives. A 2019 public-private broadband partnership lifted connectivity from 53.3% to over 78% of the population and reduced monthly data costs from US$3.50 to US$2.23, while training over 11,000 people in IT/ITES certifications with up to 65% employment rates among graduates. The country launched its first National GBV Task Force in December 2024 with new multi-sector protocols, addressing a context where 42.3% of female-headed households live in poverty. Additionally, blue-economy support helped Algas Organics, a Sargassum bio-fertiliser company, create 32 jobs—20 for women—by converting invasive seaweed into commercial products.
