Auditor General’s report finds big flaws in gov’t programme for vulnerable women

-only 16% were reached

An Auditor General’s report has found major flaws in one of government’s flagship programmes for vulnerable women including poor design and follow-up but said that improvements are being made.

Only 16% of the vulnerable women who were interested in the Ministry of Human Services Social Security’s Women’s Inno-vation and Investment Network (WIIN) programme were reached, according to the report tabled in Parliament yesterday.

It found that no provision was made for monitoring and evaluation of personnel on the Guyana Women’s Leadership Institute’s (GWLI)  organisational structure and raised questions about the quality of the training offered.
