Executive Secretariat for Integral Development (SEDI)
The Caribbean Small Business Development Centers Program is designed to
strengthen the institutional frameworks of national MSME support programs
through the adaptation of the United States Small Business Development Centers
(US SBDC) Model. Launched in January 2012 with the financial support of the
Permanent Mission of the United States to the OAS, the program has assisted five
countries- Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Jamaica and Saint Lucia- to establish
SBDCs.
Why SBDC?
SBDCs are responsive to real needs.
Small Business Development Centers offer a myriad of technical
tools and expertise to provide quality
one-one-one support
services to MSMEs.
SBDCs utilize a partnership model.
The small business development center model leverages the
technical, human and financial resources of the public and
private sectors and academia to develop an “ecosystem” of sorts
to nurture the growth of small business enterprises. The
tripartite partnership
guarantees the
sustainability of the program and eliminates inefficiencies
and duplication of efforts among agencies.
The SBDC model is adaptable.
Part of the success of this program is its adaptability so that
the unique needs and circumstances of the particular country or
region are taken into account.
SBDCs focus on getting results.
Business development centers and their service professionals are
continuously evaluated on the basis of the
economic impact
generated through their client work so that there is
quantitative data to track progress and impact.
