Project activities include: (1) developing training guides and materials that respond to the needs of migrant women in Bella Vista Village; (2) conducting training to support women’s job preparedness, entrepreneurship or vocational skills acquisition; and (3) supporting the development of business plans for the establishment of women-led small businesses. This project is part of the Local Engagement and Action Fund (LEAF) that supports civil society and local organizations across the Caribbean to implement initiatives that respond to local needs and advance the aims and strategic objectives of Canada’s Caribbean Regional Development Program.
