Guidelines¶
Alongside the regional reviews, we are developing four practical data guides to support safe, responsible, and effective data use across the Caribbean. These plain-language guides focus on key areas where support is most needed: data sharing, data reuse, data communication, and a model data trust agreement to support formal data sharing between organisations. Each guide is designed to help National Statistical Offices and other data producers navigate common challenges and build confidence in managing and sharing data in the public interest.
