An August 2021 report done for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has pointed to the challenges in framing a common vision for the country’s future and says the major parties need to devise a way to form a functioning democracy “based on power-sharing rather than a `winner takes all’ mentality”.
The Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (DRG) assessment said that democracy based on power-sharing “would ensure that the unprecedented wealth in oil reserves can be transparently and equitably managed for the benefit of all Guyanese”.
Done a year after the PPP/C government was sworn into office, the report cited weak political accountability as a problem.
