Abstract

This paper is a contextualisation of practical experiences gained by the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Enterprise and Agriculture Section in the area of micro-, small and medium-sized enterprise networking across small and island developing states (SIDS) in the Commonwealth.1 These states are an important constituent of the Common - wealth and their MSMEs face multiple challenges, mainly because of the countries’ small size, a source of vulnerability that threatens their survival. The Secretariat, through its various technical assistance projects in these states, has targeted this vulnerability – primarily through assisting networking among these enterprises – thereby attempting to enhance their competitiveness by developing economies of scale.
