The Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) is an inter-governmental organisation dedicated to supporting the development of the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector across the region.

The CTU was formed in 1989 by CARICOM heads of government, who recognized the need for stimulating enhancement of the infrastructure and policy framework in regional telecommunications. In 2004, the CTU responded to the rapid merging of communications technology and information technology by expanding its mandate to become an ICT body.

The CTU also promotes coordination of ICT at the regional level, identifies and removes roadblocks to ICT development, keeps track of industry progress and responds to the needs of the ICT sector, all with the aim of creating a cohesive regional approach to an ICT agenda which embraces the needs of all stakeholders. The CTU is committed to ICT development that reaches the citizens of the region, creating affordable access to ICT and helping citizens to use ICT effectively to transform their lives.
