Caribbean Export and Business Support Organizations

ENHANCING BSO-CAPACITY BSOs represent a natural priority target audience for Caribbean Export interventions, as they arewell placed to be part of a strong, effective and relevant CARIFORUM business support network. Moreover, because Caribbean Export does not have a physical presence in most of its beneficiary countries, the Agency relies on this sizeable network of BSOs to contribute to the concept of regional private sector development at the firm and country level. The Agency enables BSOs to be more effective in delivering export and investment promotion services to their members through: enhancing management capacities, facilitating BSOs’ participation in promotional and study tours, and helping BSOs to organise sector specific seminars and conferences for selected areas. In addition to supporting existing BSOs, the Agency also works to promote the establishment of new ones.
