CDB's CTCS Network to Host Consultations during Annual Meeting
Published on
The Caribbean Technological Consultancy Services (CTCS) Network, a programme within the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), will host separate Consultation Meetings for both its Network Stakeholders and for operators of Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) during the Bank's Forty-Fourth Annual Board of Governors (BOG) Meeting in Georgetown, Guyana in May.
11 Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs) including CDB's newest member, Suriname, have been invited to participate in the three-day Stakeholders' Consultation Meeting scheduled for Monday, May 26 to Wednesday, May 27, 2014 at the Princess Hotel. Participants in the consultation include representatives of key Cooperating Institutions (CIs) in the participating BMCs. They will be joined by several counterpart CI representatives and selected MSMEs, from regions across Guyana. The Stakeholders' Consultation is geared towards fostering a stronger and more robust CTCS Network among CDB's BMCs and to extend the range of effective CTCS coverage in Guyana.
The Stakeholders' Consultation will be followed by the two-day MSME Consultations, during the period Thursday, May 29 to Friday, May 30, 2014. The local Institute of Private Enterprise Development (IPED) in Guyana, one of the CTCS Network's longest standing members, will provide on-the-ground support and logistics for mobilising local cooperating institutions and MSMEs for the consultation activities. The consultations will include site visits.
