Guyana

DFID's overarching goal in the Caribbean is to assist the region to achieve sustainable reductions in poverty in line with the Millennium Development Goals. This effort will operate within and support the framework of poverty reduction and growth promotion policies and instruments embodied in the treaties and communiqués of the Conference of Heads of Government of external linkCARICOM together with the policy frameworks provided by the CARICOM Secretariat.

The Guyana programme has a strong public sector reform theme, pursued across several key sectors: Water, Education, Governance and Social Cohesion all of which feature strongly in the Government of Guyana's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). This is supported by efforts to promote political stability and improved security, working with the Government of Guyana, civil society, other UK Departments and International partners.

DFID Guyana is also engaged in initiatives to promote social cohesion, improved governance and security, and where appropriate address wider judicial and institutional system issues. This work is done in close collaboration with International Partners, Civil Society, Government and other UK Departments to ensure an effective and harmonised approach to our work in country.
