Open Data Readiness Assessment

The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is partnering with the World Bank to conduct an assessment of this nation’s capacity, inside and outside the Government, to implement a programme to make more of the government’s data available to the public, and to businesses. This would assist with increasing transparency and stimulating business innovation and new business creation.
To this end, the World Bank team has extended an invitation to meet with journalists in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, on Tuesday 27th June, at 9:45 a.m. at the conference room at the Ministry of Economic Planning, Sustainable Development, Industry, Information and Labour. The meeting will last for approximately 45 – 60 minutes. The team will mainly ask about the aspects of the study framework relevant to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ role, and will welcome as well, any other comments or suggestions. The interviews will be confidential.
In addition, the World Bank team will also make a presentation and briefing on Open Data on Monday 26th June at 1:15 p.m. at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Commerce and Trade’s conference room.
Media Houses are invited to attend, and to participate in both activities. Please note that media houses are not expected to provide coverage.
