This project has been seen to be very timely for Grenada in the face of increased unemployment, mainly due to the decline of the agricultural, tourism and construction industries. This drastic deterioration in the different sectors was as a result of the deadly COVID-19 Virus which has impacted negatively Grenada's economy. The outbreak has had an especially severe impact on small businesses with their owners struggling and unsure if they will have anything to return to once the crisis has passed. One of Grenada’s main strategies is to recognize the development of the digital economy as critical to Grenada's prosperity and as a means of increasing more opportunities access for younger persons.
