It will be interesting to see what proportion of that goes to "Training", - since the BSBA has some Training heavyweights - and what proportion really gets to the level of the MSMEs getting help with their material, marketing, production and funding. Any feedback will be welcomed. Patient Pete. We have roughly $ 500,000 to spend over the next 20 months, ostensibly to procure jobs in the Tourism sector – good.

How well has it discharged its mandate in a way that it can point to a successful venture undertaken ? Pete.
