Mr. Narcisse is expected to provide valuable information on the plans and work of his Division, status of the various ongoing initiatives, and of significant interest to the Chamber and the wider private sector, the progress on establishing the Port Community Single Window; a long outstanding national initiative whose implementation in other countries has been shown to reduce costs, not just to businesses but consumers, increase government revenue, reduce the time taken to move goods in and out of a country while strengthening overall service delivery to the citizenry.
