Small businesses are said to be the lifeblood of an economy, but they struggle even during the best of times – listen in on how the pandemic is affecting micro, small and medium sized enterprises in The Bahamas as the country struggles with curfews, lockdowns and fluctuating COVID-19 infection rates.

Together, with Nicholas Higgs from the IDB-funded Access Accelerator, Small Business Development Center, small business owner Santina McKinney (Media Box Bahamas) and Maria Eugenia Roca – the Chief of Operations for Country Office Bahamas, we explore the context and the steps being taken to mitigate MSME challenges.

Inderia Saunders, Communications Consultant for IDB in The Bahamas, hosts this episode of Improving Lives in the Caribbean.
