Canada and UNICEF yesterday announced a three-year project worth $495m geared to provide services to vulnerable residents of Region One (Barima/ Waini).
Following a recent visit to Region 1 by Canadian High Commissioner to Guyana, Mark K. Berman and UNICEF Country Representative Nicolas Pron, both organizations have signed to the three-year CAD$3M project that will tackle some of the concerns expressed by stakeholders in the Region.
On Tuesday 23rd March, 2021, Berman, Pron and their teams held several meetings with the Region 1 authorities during a visit to Mabaruma, to better understand the living situation of children, women, other residents and migrants in the area.
