Benefits of the Horizontal Cooperation Programme to T&T The Network has created opportunities for building awareness and dialogue in support of major social development issues relevant to member states; This programme has allowed Caribbean nations to share experiences and learn from each other; The effort of the Network, through its various training initiatives in the area of social development and poverty alleviation, has helped to strengthen human resource capacity in the formulation and implementation of poverty reduction initiatives; This exchange of experience reduced the challenges/pitfalls experienced and helped us to expand social capital in our programme; Improved capacity building - study visits, internships, workshops, seminars and the virtual platform was valuable in the transfer of social technology Challenges Experienced: At the organizational level included -: Turnover of Staff Competing responsibilities

The T.C.C.T.P addresses food insecurity via a cash transfer while simultaneously spearheading rehabilitative and developmental activities by ensuring that recipients are afforded skills training as well as referrals and assistance in finding employment as a prerequisite for receiving the cash transfer. The programme also provides training in specific areas including: budgetary planning, family planning, career guidance and life skills and is governed by Policy Guidelines
