The World Bank Group's strategy for Guyana, outlined in the Country Partnership Framework (CPF)through 2026, aligns with national development goals, including the country’s revised Low Carbon Development Strategy. The Bank’s portfolio totals $312.87 million, covering six key areas: education, public health, natural resource management, transport, renewable energy and environmental resilience.

Guyana became a JCR office in July 2024, showing the World Bank Group’s commitment to inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development.  With the International Finance Corporation (IFC) now fully integrated into country-level leadership, Guyana now stands to have direct access to a full suite of financial tools, advisory services, and global expertise.

This new engagement supports Guyana’s rapid economic growth, fueled by oil reserves and a focus on climate resilience, human capital, and the local private sector growth. Priority sectors include agribusiness, tourism, education, SME finance, and infrastructure, with a focus on transport and logistics.

This integrated approach spanning IBRD, IDA, IFC, and MIGA has positioned Guyana to garner support in its drive to develop a diversified economy. The partnership also reflects the World Bank Group’s shared vision: reducing poverty, empowering communities, and ensuring prosperity on a livable planet.
