New grant funding opportunity for Caribbean enterprises and organizations

The Caribbean Resilient Economies and Sectors Activity (RESET) has announced a new grant funding opportunity aimed at bolstering micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), civil society organizations, and private research institutes across 11 Eastern and Southern Caribbean countries. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), RESET seeks to enhance resilience and promote sustainable economic growth within the region.

Organizations are invited to submit concept papers that align with RESET’s mission, focusing on eight key areas: Agri-food, Tourism, Blue Economy, Green Economy, Regenerative Agriculture, Food Systems, Disaster Risk Management, and other innovative activities. This initiative is particularly vital as it aims to strengthen sectors that are susceptible to climate-related challenges.

The grants program encourages applicants to highlight how their proposed activities will contribute to economic development, capacity building, and resilience, particularly for vulnerable populations, including women, youth, and individuals with disabilities. These groups are often disproportionately affected by climate events, making this focus crucial.

RESET aims to foster investments in climate-smart technologies and business practices, ultimately promoting a blue-green economy characterized by sustainable growth and job creation. Interested organizations can find detailed information and guidelines for submission on the Caribbean RESET website. For additional inquiries, potential applicants can reach out via email at [email protected].

This grant opportunity represents a major step towards building a more resilient Caribbean economy, fostering innovation, and supporting communities in navigating the impacts of climate change.
