Once you know who you are and where you stand in the scheme of things your role is easily defined. You are then better able to manage your role, making it more effective.

Civil Society is now being formally recognized as a stakeholder in the social and economic structure of the nation. Civil Society must now move to empower itself.

CIVIL SOCIETY MAY BE DEFINED AS:

"All those organisations which are not government-controlled and which represent sectors, communities and individuals."

2005 National NGO Summit, Sherbourne Conference Centre

The Caribbean Advantage Savigs Card has been created out of a need for increased consumer buying power in an ever increasingly expensive regional and worldwide economy. In addition, in the spirit of Caribbean Single Market and Economy this tool is designed to unify our Caribbean people while harnessing the sheer economies of scale which exists in the worldwide Diaspora of Caribbean people.

Everyone loves to save money on the things purchased daily but in addition subscription to The Caribbean Advantage means:

• Usage for one year
• New participating businesses add value at no Extra Costs
• Multiple card purchases ensure a better deal for each card thus further increasing its value
• A free business locator is provided with each card
