Britain says\u00a0 despite its own economic problems, it has been able to double by 50 percent annually, its bilateral assistance to the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Head of DFID (Department for International Development) Caribbean, Harry Hagan, says\u00a0 since the coalition government took office Britain had increased that assistance to 75 million pounds\u00a0 over four years.<\/p>\n

He said British support to the Caribbean was focused on three main areas: growth and trade, climate change and disaster risk reduction, and governments and security.<\/p>\n

Hagan was addressing the launch of Dominica\u2019s National Export Strategy and the Dominica Coalition of Services Industries, supported to the tune of $3 million through the Caribbean Development Bank with UK funds from CARTFUND \u2013 The Caribbean Aid for Trade and Regional Integration Trust Fund.<\/p>\n

The British official said he was convinced that the two projects launched had the potential to raise Dominica\u2019s goods and services exports.<\/p>\n

He said he hoped the projects would be able to take advantage of the opportunities available under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between Dominica and other Cariforum countries and the European Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britain says\u00a0 despite its own economic problems, it has been able to double by 50 percent annually, its bilateral assistance to the Caribbean.
