Implementation of Trinidad and Tobago’s Interoperability Platform, e-Identity Program and Government Data Center
This CAF-led project aims to modernize communications, digital infrastructure, and related services in a manner that promotes greater robustness, scalability, interoperability, efficiency, and security in Trinidad and Tobago. LACIF is supporting the first stages of implementation of the Interoperability Platform, an e-ID program, and a Government Data Center.
The project proposes a hybrid solution that will integrate its own Data Centre with cloud infrastructure and with other carefully selected private sector cloud infrastructure to optimize the provision of public services, the digitization of the State, and meet current and future demands for IT services. It aligns with the EU’s Global Gateway broader connectivity strategy, helping Trinidad and Tobago to improve digital inclusion and to further integrate into the global digital ecosystem. Knowledge-sharing activities with other CARICOM countries are also foreseen, contributing to regional integration and innovation.
The action:
- improves service delivery, enabling interoperability among government agencies to validate and share data;
- enhances access to government services, particularly for marginalized or underserved populations;
- reduces fraud and duplication;
- saves energy and costs in government operations;
- encourage data-driven decision making through the facilitation on aggregation and analysis of data from various government sources;
- boosts economic growth and innovation, as standardized interfaces encourage private sector participation and the development of value-added services and applications;
- addresses privacy and security considerations.
