The World Bank’s current portfolio in Guyana totals $312.87. It covers six main areas: education, public health, natural resource management, non-oil economy competitiveness, and environmental resilience.
The Bank’s strategy for 2023-2026 aligns with Guyana’s development goals and the Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030.
People- Increasing human capital, through investment in education and health, to build a more resilient, skilled population in Guyana. The education project enhances access and facilities of secondary schools, modernizes TVET, and enhances teaching quality. The One Health initiative strengthens public health systems by integrating human, animal, and environmental health with a focus on underserved communities.
Infrastructure- Enhancing Economic Competitiveness by supporting infrastructure and energy upgrades. The transport corridors project aims to increase trade and mobility across critical regions of Guyana. At the same time, the green building initiative promotes energy efficiency and job creation for a more sustainable economy.
Planet- Building Climate and Environmental Resilience, supporting Guyana to improve its coastlines and communities against climate risks. The coastal adaptation project enhances flood protection for over 300,000 people and upgrades and builds critical infrastructure.
