Governments have always struggled with issues of 'fairness,' especially when it comes to the products, services, and systems used to organize society. While the move towards the full or partial digitization of these products, services, and systems is meant to improve delivery and access, it has also made existing issues obvious and raised fresh concerns.

As a social impact organization the SlashRoots Foundation is concerned with the design and delivery of social services and development programs, the question we are always seeking to answer is:

"How can Jamaican and Caribbean governments ensure that the decisions and choices they make around digital development adequately address the problem(s) they seek to resolve while being inclusive and equitable to all?"

This publication allows us to explore these issues through diverse and reasoned perspectives from players on all sides to help the general public make sense of it all.
