Caribbean Export 2021 Annual Report FINAL

+2,500 BENEFICIARIES

60% WOMEN PARTICIPATING

At Caribbean Export we believe building a business’ capacity through training, technical assistance, trade and business intelligence as well as funding options, is key to enhance private sector development in the Caribbean. Since the pandemic, the Agency has also had to pivot in the delivery of initiatives to ensure a more focussed and targeted suite of tools, aimed at impacting on the technical, knowledge, financial, production and service delivery capacity of firms. Over 100 webinars have been hosted by the Agency during 2021, ranging from capacity-building topics such as e-commerce development, market intelligence to investment forums and export promotion initiatives to support market penetration. Also included were pre-packaged programmes such as ProNET, Services Go Global (SGG) and Business of Music (BOM), amongst others which support the increased use of the CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). ProNET ProNET is a business management training programme for small businesses who want to grow their business and become more competitive. Given the travel restriction ProNET was delivered virtually to firms in The Bahamas, Belize, Haiti, and Jamaica in cooperation with national BSOs. A total of 122 people completed the following modules: cost and financial management; export marketing; quality management; information & knowledge management and production management.
