OECS Commission supports Saint Vincent digital transformation

Published on February 9, 2026

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing digital transformation across the OECS Community.

As part of these efforts, the OECS Commission, in partnership with the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, supported a two-day workshop aimed at reviewing and strengthening the legal, policy, and governance frameworks necessary for implementing robust Civil Registration and Unique Identification (UID) Systems.

The workshop brought together key stakeholders from government ministries, including the Attorney General’s Chambers, National Security, Immigration, Customs, Civil Registry, Electoral, and Health departments to deliberate on best practices and emerging trends in digital identification and civil registration.

Through in-depth consultations and expert-led sessions, participants evaluated existing legislative structures and examined areas for policy decisions and harmonisation.

The event also featured the official handover of specialised equipment, designed to support the decentralisation and efficient operation of the civil registration and UID systems across rural and urban areas in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

By reinforcing legal, policy, and governance frameworks and investing in cutting-edge technology, the OECS Commission and its partners are ensuring that Saint Vincent and the Grenadines remains at the forefront of regional innovation and service excellence.
