The Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) is an intergovernmental organization established by CARICOM in 1989, to facilitate development of the telecommunications sector in the Caribbean.
In 2005, the CTU and the CARICOM Secretariat initiated the CIGF as a regional, multi-stakeholder, annual forum. As part of the 18th CIGF in 2022, the CTU hosted the inaugural Small Island Developing States Internet Governance Forum (SIDS IGF) in Trinidad and Tobago.
Between September and October 2022, 13 of the CTU member states participated in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-22) in Bucharest, Romania.
