The International Trade Centre (ITC) in collaboration with Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) has announced the launch of the Caribbean Trade for Sustainable Development (T4SD) Hub to help micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the region develop green and viable business models. The Hub will be hosted by Caribbean Export, the regional trade and investment promotion agency mandated to enhance the competitiveness of CARIFORUM MSMEs.
Caribbean Export will become part of a global network of T4SD Hubs that have been created with local institutions in Ghana, Kenya, Laos, Nepal, Peru, and Vietnam, to strengthen the competitiveness of MSMEs by implementing green business practices that help them to become climate-resilient, lower their carbon emissions, recycle waste, get certified with sustainability standards and access green finance and value chains.
