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.
