The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission has announced an extension to the Second Call for Proposals under the Regional MSME Matching Grants Programme, part of the Unleashing the Blue Economy of the Caribbean (UBEC) Project. Originally set to close on November 21, 2025, the new deadline is December 5, 2025, at 11:59 pm. This extension provides Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Grenada, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines with additional time to apply for grants aimed at fostering growth in the Fisheries, Marine Tourism, and Waste Management sectors. The programme offers funding ranging from US$5,000 to $25,000 to support equipment upgrades, production improvements, sustainability, market expansion, and capacity building. Training sessions are already underway in Grenada and St Vincent and the Grenadines, while St Lucia has completed its series, with participants reporting enhanced skills and readiness. MSMEs are urged to seize this final opportunity to transform their businesses and contribute to the region’s Blue Economy. Applications can be submitted via email to [email protected], with detailed instructions available in an accompanying video and on the programme’s official website.
