A US-based NGO has its sights set on the economic recovery and development of Linden which would see the community take its fair share of the much-hoped for bonanza arising out of Guyana’s burgeoning oil and gas industry.
A release yesterday from the Linden Fund USA (LFU) announced the launch of a new economic development programme through its Linden Fund Guyana Office to support economic recovery in Linden. The plan is for the programme to serve as a “catalyst for development in the community” in view of what the Fund says is the IMF’s projection of “an 8.1% growth in Guyana’s economy over 2021.” LFU is confident that it can provide leadership to ensure that the community of Linden is a beneficiary of such growth.
