Through its Global Gateway initiative, the European Union is planning to inject larger amounts of cash into the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and its representative here in Guyana, Ambassador René van Nes, says that Guyana could significantly benefit.
While there are a number of areas for Guyana, the major focus from the financing model will be on the forestry, education, and health sectors, alongside research, climate and energy.
“For Guyana we have agreed with the government on a few of those Global Gateway [initiatives],” the EU envoy said during an interview with reporters on Thursday as he pointed out that the initiatives were hugely ambitious.
