Antigua and Barbuda

The Ministry of Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Information Technology of Antigua and Barbuda joined LAC4 on behalf of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in August 2024.

Cooperation between LAC4 and Antigua and Barbuda is focused on enhancing national cybersecurity capacities and strengthening digital resilience. This collaboration has been reflected in several practical initiatives, including the launch of the Cyber Hygiene Platform on 9 March 2026, developed jointly with EU CyberNet in cooperation with national authorities. Additional activities include advanced training programmes on cyber incident response, cyber threat hunting, and endpoint security for Caribbean countries, as well as follow-up engagement supporting SMEs in strengthening IT risk management and strategic planning. Overall, these efforts demonstrate a targeted and capacity-driven partnership aimed at reinforcing technical expertise and fostering regional cooperation. 

The Ministry of Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Information Technology is the government body responsible for driving the nation’s digital transformation and overseeing essential infrastructure. Its primary mission is to modernize public services through e-government initiatives, strengthen cybersecurity frameworks, and manage the country’s telecommunications spectrum. Additionally, the Ministry supervises the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) to ensure the reliable delivery of electricity and water, while also promoting the transition toward renewable energy to support long-term sustainability.
