Caribbean Export and Business Support Organizations

STRENGTHENING BSO PARTNERSHIPS

Caribbean Export often collaborates with BSOs in a number of programme areas, however three key segments comprise training and certification, access to finance, and export promotion. As such, the Agency aims to deepen cooperation with BSOs in order to maximize its physical reach and programme impact across the region. The delivery of training programmes in partnership with regional BSOs demonstrates one way in which Caribbean Export seeks to augment alliances. Under the 10th EDF, 33 of these sector organisations collaborated with Caribbean Export to deliver training in grant proposal writing, export marketing, ProNET, and market intelligence inter alia. Currently, the Agency is working with key BSOs to provide training in National Trade Information to regional SMEs.
