About

The Department for International Development awarded a contract to Mott MacDonald Limited trading as Cambridge Education for the Youth Skills for Economic Growth programme in the Eastern Caribbean, valued at £9,133,855.

The programme addresses skills needs identified by government, private sector, and NGO contacts during scoping visits in 2014, and contributes to the UK's £30m economic development programming commitment for the Caribbean, part of a £360m development assistance commitment announced in September 2015.

It covers four of DFID Caribbean's eight focus countries—the four poorest Eastern Caribbean countries where skills needs are particularly high, economic structures are more similar, and development support options are more limited.
