TFSA continuously identifies and establishes relationships with business support organisations across the SACU+M region, including the national export promotion agencies and Apex chambers of commerce in each country, as well as women-oriented BSOs and those working in TFSA’s priority value chain sectors. Working through these networks, a variety of relevant export information is channelled to member businesses.
Selected business support organisations are currently being developed as future Knowledge Centres, which will act as key support focal points for their local export firms. A minimum of two Knowledge Centres, with at least one of these focused on women in business, are in the process of being established in each of the SACU+M countries.
