By Zoila Palma: On February 5, 2026, the Economic Development Council (EDC), Office of the Prime Minister, in collaboration with the Belize Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Association and the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry, hosted a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Business Mixer.
The event brought together industry leaders, innovators, government representatives, and partner organizations to engage in meaningful dialogue on the challenges affecting the BPO sector and to explore innovative solutions aimed at strengthening an enabling environment for sustainable sector growth.
CEO Narda Garcia noted that to date, there is a total of 17 BPOs that benefit under Belize’s Designated Process Area Program (the DPA) and that provide over nine thousand jobs to Belizeans.
“This is a significant contribution to the overall 20,000 jobs that serve young professionals, experienced supervisors and managers, IT specialists, quality analysts, and support teams across Belize, most of whom are youth and women. For many households, BPO wages represent consistent income, health benefits, and opportunities for advancement. For the economy, the sector contributes meaningfully with total exports based on UNCTAD figures for Deliverable Digital Services to the sum of $450.00m,” a statement from the Government of Belize noted.
Other key highlights included a presentation by Lincoln Blake, Director of the Investment, Policy, and Compliance Unit, who shared insights on the Global Digital Services Project.
This initiative, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank, focuses on the development of Belize’s Global Digital Services Investment Policy, with particular emphasis on the Orange Economy.
