A $600 million multiyear program has been launched to strengthen the capacity of Amerindian villages and the National Toshaos Council (NTC) in Guyana. The initiative aims to develop and implement effective long-term sustainable plans aligned with national priorities. Led by the NTC, the project includes technical assistance, training programs, and workshops to enhance village leaders' skills and collaboration among stakeholders. It will establish monitoring systems to improve plan implementation and institutional support from the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs. This initiative is crucial as villages expect significant revenues from Guyana's REDD+ Program, with $4.7 billion disbursed in 2023 for over 500 projects.
