The Caribbean Export Development Agency, in partnership with the Inter-American Development
Bank, has developed the Caribbean Digital Transformation Institute (CDTI<\/a>) \u2014 a regional initiative
designed to accelerate digital adoption and innovation among Caribbean businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDTI is established as a regional public good, specifically designed to transform MSMEs through digital adoption. The team\u2019s mission is to ensure long-term sustainability through the development of a viable business model, an effective organizational framework, and strong public\u2013private partnerships. Ensuring the sustainability of the CDTI is critical because it transforms the initiative from a short-term project into a lasting regional public good. A sustainable CDTI guarantees that MSMEs will continue to access vital digital skills, tools, and networks beyond the life of initial donor funding. This continuity not only builds long-term competitiveness and resilience among Caribbean businesses but also strengthens trust and engagement from stakeholders who need assurance that the platform will remain available and relevant. Moreover, sustainability ensures that the resources invested yield enduring impact, enabling the CDTI to evolve with changing technologies and business practices while consistently supporting the digital transformation of the region\u2019s MSMEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A central part of this mission is to enhance the relevance and impact of the CDTI by strengthening its
course offerings, improving user engagement and retention, and aligning its services with evolving
business practices. The CDTI Platform and the Digital Maturity Check-up Tool will play a key role in
ensuring that services are well-informed, actionable, and responsive to the needs of Caribbean MSMEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective of this consultancy is to secure the long-term operational and financial sustainability of the Caribbean Digital Transformation Institute (CDTI) through the development of a sophisticated, multi-year business model. The consultant must transform the CDTI from a project-based initiative into a resilient Regional Public Good (RPG) that generates self-sustaining value. This objective is pursued through a collaborative effort between Caribbean Export and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
