The University Data Protection (UDP) Office initiated several income-generating projects for The UWI to leverage the university’s expertise while contributing to the broader society. One notable initiative was the Data Protection Training for Jamaican Educators, a collaboration with the Department of Library and Information Studies at the Mona Campus, led by Dr. Stanley Griffin. This course, “Introduction to Implementing Data Protection,” targeted senior educational leaders from pre-primary to tertiary institutions across Jamaica, providing them with essential knowledge and tools for implementing effective data protection measures. Running from July 31, 2023, to July 30, 2024, this 12-month project had a total contract amount of JA$34,729,557, with the generated income reinvested into the University’s Privacy Management Programme activities.
