Bridgetown, BARBADOS, January 17, 2014.  The Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) officially announces the publication of the Call for Proposals for both the Accelerated and Regular Procedures grant facilities under the well known Direct Assistance Grant Scheme as part of the Regional Private Sector Development Programme (RPSDP) funded by the European Union under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) on January 17, 2014.

 

The Direct Assistance Grant Scheme is a reimbursement grant funding facility specifically designed to provide financial assistance to legally registered firms, individuals and Business Support Organisations (BSOs) who have the potential to export their products and services.

 

After conducting a series of workshops for firms and BSOs throughout 2012 and 2013, across CARIFORUM to increase the schemes awareness and ultimately increase the number of applications received, the release of this Call for Proposals is expected to result in a record number of applicants to utilise the funds made available via the 10th European Development Fund.
