Community Partners working at the grassroots
The development of small and micro enterprises (SMEs) cannot occur without the assistance of other organisations. While the main source of funding and support is and will remain the Fiji Government we welcome help and support from both local community groups and foreign donor organisations.
The centre is looking for groups of active and community minded people to partner with in provision of services to SMEs.
In particular we are looking for groups that can provide:
- Training to SMEs in entrepreneurship and business management
- Dissemination of information to SMEs
- Identification and development of new business opportunities
- Identification and development of new projects
- Networking opportunities between SMEs
If you feel your group has something to offer, contact us at:
