Regional Private Sector Development Programme

The Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) implemented the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) Regional Private Sector Development Programme (RPSDP), which began in 2017 and ended in 2023.

The overall objective of the programme was to increase employment creation, inclusiveness – particularly for youth, women and indigenous groups and reduce overall poverty in CARIFORUM States. Through targeted interventions, the Agency sought to achieve three specific objectives in support of the overall goal:

  1. To build private sector capacity at the firm level to increase export competitiveness;
  2. To strengthen business support organizations (BSOs) capacity to provide greater support to the private sector; and
  3. To strengthen regional mechanisms aimed at promoting effective public-private dialogue (PPD) to develop a more effective business enabling environment.
