The workshop was the culmination of country studies that were carried out under an Italian Government-funded project to assess the policies, institutions and instruments for dynamic Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) development and competitiveness in Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The aim was to use the lessons learned from the three country studies to inform policy and practice in the other member countries of the Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee (CDCC). The main objectives of the workshop were to: (a) share and discuss the findings of the country studies and lessons learned; (b) provide a forum for high quality discussion of the policy environment, instruments, business development and support services required for successful SME development in the Caribbean; and (c) map out a strategy for moving from analysis and recommendation to policy implementation and business changes in order to promote a dynamic and competitive SME sector. The workshop aimed to arrive at practical solutions to major constraints and a weighting of key actions in order of priority of implementation, by adopting a problem-solving approach. Participants at the workshop included representatives of key SME support institutions in the region, actual SMEs and academic researchers. The list of participants and provisional programme are annexed to this report. .--Agenda item 1: Overview of the SME sector in Latin America and the Caribbean.--Agenda item 2: Presentation of Caribbean country studies.--Agenda item 3: SME Competitiveness, requirements and challenges.--Agenda item 4: Integrated SME development – Challenges, prospects and sketching a future road map 2015-07-27T14:05:18Z 2015-07-27T14:05:18Z 2009-08-12 Texto Documento Completo http://hdl.handle.net/11362/38695 LC/CAR/L.207 en .pdf application/pdf CARIBE CARIBBEAN REGION ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean
