Over 50 people have been trained in proposal writing and project management through the Equal Rights, Access and Opportunities SVG Inc. (ERAO SVG) and UNAIDS Caribbean.

The training sessions took place on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, 2026, at the UWI Global Campus.

Across the two days, the training was attended by over 50 persons from civil society organisations, the public sector, and the private sector. The training was facilitated by Jaevion Nelson, an experienced grant writer and Community Support Advisor at UNAIDS Caribbean, based in Jamaica.

Reflecting on the training, Jeshua Bardoo, President of ERAO SVG, stated:
“It’s important to develop and build the capacity of Vincentians so that we can have the relevant knowledge and skills to create impact and change within our society. Proposal writing and project management are important skills that anyone who is a part of an NGO, working in government, or even those who run private businesses, need to learn. These skills can help us raise the necessary funds that we need in these difficult financial times and/or help us to better implement projects.”

ERAO SVG extended appreciation to Outright International and UNAIDS Caribbean for their financial and/or in-kind support.

ERAO SVG was launched on October 1, 2021, as an intersectional human rights organisation dedicated to promoting equality and non-discrimination in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has four main thematic areas: women’s rights, children’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and disability rights.
