Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are seen as the engine of economic growth and employment creation in the Caribbean, as in other parts of the world. This study explores the difficulties such enterprises have in accessing long-term financing and how these difficulties can be overcome. It reports on the results of a survey of SMEs from ten Caribbean countries and on a parallel study of lending institutions that might be expected to offer finance to SMEs. The author offers a commentary on the differing perspectives of SMEs and lenders on the problem of finding affordable long-term financing and suggests policy options for improving access to finance for this sector.
A transcription of a text published in British Guiana in 1948 listing 4351 individuals together with their occupations and some details of their accomplishments. This directory must have been very useful at the time of its original publication, but after nearly 70 years is of little if any practical commercial value. It has been reproduced purely for the purpose of informing current and future generations in Guyana of their ancestors and their accomplishments. From a genealogical perspective therefore, it may serve some useful purpose.
This report covers the work of the 53-nation Commonwealth and its principal intergovernmental organization, the Commonwealth Secretariat, from July 2005 to June 2007. Over these two years, the Commonwealth Secretariat has carried out its mandate of democracy and development in a robust manner. It has delivered expertise to governments and delivered projects with high added value. The report is divided into five sections covering all aspects of the Commonwealth Secretariat's work: building a democratic culture; sustainable development; meeting social development goals; empowering young people; and multiplying the Commonwealth's impact and reach. The report includes a foreword by Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon and was presented to Commonwealth leaders before their biennial summit in Uganda in November 2007.
