Trinidad and Tobago runs 14 free ICT Access Centres and the WeLearnTT e-learning platform, enrolling 4,150+ learners since late 2023 and running digital-literacy camps for citizens aged 55–92, within a UNDP-backed national digital-inclusion strategy.
Trinidad and Tobago's national digital-inclusion effort runs on two linked pillars: a network of 14 government-funded ICT Access Centres, and WeLearnTT, a free e-learning platform launched in November 2023. Both are run by the Ministry of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence (formerly the Ministry of Digital Transformation) and target groups the government's 2021 National Digital Inclusion Survey identified as most excluded — the elderly, rural residents, persons with disabilities, and lower-income households.
In August 2024, the Centres ran a five-day digital-literacy camp across all 14 locations for citizens aged 55 to 92, covering smartphone and tablet use, video calling, online safety and cybersecurity awareness. All services — device access, user support and facility use — are provided free of charge.
More than 100 seniors took part in the August 2024 camp, and 66 went on to register for WeLearnTT afterwards. By that point, WeLearnTT had enrolled over 4,150 learners since its launch nine months earlier.
The programme sits inside a broader USD 8.2 million, three-year Digital Transformation Project delivered with UNDP, which names the elderly, the poor, persons with disabilities, women and girls, and rural communities as target beneficiaries — giving the Centres' local activity independent institutional backing at the national planning level.
