The CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality (CROSQ), in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank and the National Standards Bodies of participating countries, has undertaken a project entitled ‘Promoting Small and Medium Sized Enterprise Competitiveness in the Caribbean through Technical Standards”.   
The project is being executed through the CROSQ Secretariat as the central hub and the National Standards Bodies in Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago as sub-regional hubs. 
The main objective of the project is to boost the competitiveness of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in order to facilitate the exportation of goods and services and the process of integration within the region, the hemisphere and the world. The project will underscore and build awareness of the importance of standardization and conformity assessment among SMEs and other regional stakeholders inclusive of public and private sector strategic partners.
