The National Toshaos Council (NTC) will now be able to enhance its capacity with the support of Conservation International Guyana (CI-Guyana), after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organisations yesterday.

While discussions regarding the MoU were held earlier this year, the document was made official yesterday when it was signed by the two parties in the presence of participants of the 10th annual NTC conference at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre.

Offering brief remarks following the signing, Chairman of the NTC Toshao Joel Fredericks described the MoU as “a way forward and building bridges for great things to happen.” He said that working with CI-Guyana will see positive change for the NTC.
