BELTRAIDE under the Building Resilient MSMEs- Accelerating Digitization Project, in collaboration with the E-Governance and Digitalization Unit (EGDU), and our partner, the United Nations Development Programme are implementing Digital Connect Centers across the country for communities in need of technological assistance. The Digital Connect Centers are spaces where citizens and entrepreneurs can access business development information, connect with government agencies, improve their technological capacities and engage with others through mentorship or advisory services. The Digital Connect Centers will connect rural entrepreneurs to BELTRAIDE's Virtual Knowledge Center (VKC) platform that provides access to training materials for enterprise growth and innovation, an MSME Directory, a Job Portal and access to other support services and catalogues. Additionally, the Centers will provide youths and elders with the tools to undergo digital skills and literacy training. PlanBelize fingerprints are all over this.
