The Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum (CYIGF) is a regional, multi-stakeholder forum, initiated by the Caribbean Telecommunications Union, to coordinate regional views, interests and challenges of youth within the Caribbean.
The first CYIGF took place in 2022, and was planned and facilitated by Caribbean youth that attended the ITU Generation Connect Summit in Kigali, Rwanda. It sparked future integration of young professionals within the CTU’s stream of work, resulting in the formation of the wider Caribbean ICT Youth Network (CIYN). Since its inception, the CYIGF has hosted three successful fora, with representation and participation from around the world, and is a registered NRI under the United Nations Internet Governance Forum.
