September 7, 2023 – The Executive Secretariat for Integral Development of the Organization of American States (OAS-SEDI) announces the launch of the Train the Trainer Program for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) support institutions in the Eastern Caribbean. This initiative is a vital component of the OAS Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Project, aimed at empowering women entrepreneurs to benefit from opportunities in the digital and virtual economy.
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, it is essential for MSMEs to adapt and harness the power of technology and the digital economy; however, women entrepreneurs often face barriers including limited access to finance, digital tools, skills, and resources. The Train the Trainer Program seeks to address these challenges by equipping thirty (30) trainers from MSME support institutions with the necessary knowledge and expertise to train women entrepreneurs to effectively navigate the international marketplace. The participating countries are Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The Train the Trainer Program will consist of a series of interactive workshops, hands-on training, and sessions led by industry experts and experienced trainers from the Branson Center for Entrepreneurship Caribbean and will run from September 5 to October 26, 2023.
The launch of the Train- the- Trainer Program demonstrates the OAS’s commitment to promoting gender equality, economic growth, and sustainable development across the Eastern Caribbean. The Women’s Economic Empowerment Project is being implemented by the OAS-SEDI in collaboration with local partners, including government agencies, business associations, NGO’s supporting women and with funding support from the US Department of State Permanent Mission to the Organization of American States.
This program was an great opportunity for all. I loved to see that. Thanks for sharing.
Again another program specifically for women. At what point will women realize the “equality” they fought for have been achieved long ago? Right now its the men and young boys who are disenfranchised. While i want women to be empowered, all the programs nd funding cannot me mostly for women.
Stop it! Hasn’t Skerrit empowered some women in Dominica enough already. This is all propaganda to justify some of his political appointments, i.e. Pampalam, Gucci, that mouthpiece from the south, the proposed new President, some of those leading civil servants, etc. one upon a time we that fantasy movie ‘planet of the apes’ in Dominica we have planet of the women lead by a horny male king. Stop this NONSENSE
