What is Consumer Connect?
Consumer Connect is Saint Lucia’s first national platform dedicated to strengthening consumer protection by providing:
- A portal to lodge complaints and track cases.
- A database to capture issues across sectors.
- Resources on consumer rights and responsibilities.
- A space for agencies and businesses to collaborate.
It is spearheaded by the National Consumer Association (NCA) in partnership with other regulatory agencies:
- Consumer Affairs Department (CAD): Safeguards consumer rights and welfare
- Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards (SLBS): Sets and enforces product and service standards.
- National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC): Regulates telecommunications and prevents unfair practices.
Why was it developed?
Consumer Connect brings Saint Lucia’s consumer protection agencies together through a single platform, creating a more coordinated and accessible approach to consumer protection. It was created to:
- Eliminate duplication of work among agencies.
- Provide consumers with clear, accessible support.
- Replace anecdotal evidence with reliable data.
- Strengthen collaboration among organizations that protect consumer rights.
