Makushi Travelogues from the Borderlands of Southern Guyana Lisa Katharina Grund Abstract This ethnographic account focuses on the conceptions and practices of movement, as narrated by the Makushi people who live along the triple frontier of southern Guyana. The journeys - individual experiences, in particular of women – depict visits to other Makushi communities, to their neighbours and cities in Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela. The travelogues disclose Makushi premises on knowledge and its acquisition: gender, age, temporality and alterity. Exploring these concepts in practice, the ethnography points out the value the Makushi attribute to their encounters with others, situations in which risk and unpredictability are creatively incorporated as part of their sociality. 3 Contents Acknowledgements 10 Introduction 12 Mobility in the Guianas 15 On Movement 18 Feminine voices 23 Fieldwork 24 The terminology of travel 26 Outline of chapters 28 Chapter 1 – Roads and Crossings: Experiences of Movement 30 The road 31 A line between poles 31 Through a line of

Andrews Thesis Committee Members: Dr. Richard Maclure Dr. Nicholas Ng-A-Fook Dr. Giuliano Reis External Examiner: Dr. Lisa Taylor ©Julie Comber, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH II Abstract This doctoral research studied the North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs (NRWC), an Environmental Education (EE) Program for Makushi Amerindian youth in Guyana. The Club format for EE has become popular, and previous research on EE Club programs provide modest support for the hypothesis that EE Club membership increases pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour in children and youth. There is also increasing interest in the role EE Clubs can play in nurturing Positive Youth Development (PYD). This multi-site case study describes EE Clubs in three villages in the North Rupununi of Guyana. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews and focus groups with stakeholders (such as former Club members, volunteers with the Clubs, Elders, and village leaders). The researcher also kept a reflective journal. Findings suggest community members valued the positive impact they perceived participation in NRWC to have on youth and upon their community. Participants offered recommendations on how to improve the program. One of the original findings is that the Clubs may be a way to help reconnect indigenous youth with their elders and restore the transmission of Indigenous Knowledge.

Its content does not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations. GE.19-18019(E) A/HRC/WG.6/35/GUY/1 Introduction 1. Guyana considers the UPR as a beneficial process in engaging with other States to review and constructively assess its progress in recognizing and protecting fundamental rights and freedoms on its domestic plane. To this end, Guyana welcomes the third cycle of UPR and is pleased to present its national report for the period under review. Guyana confirms its continued commitment to this process. 2. Since the presentation of its report to the 2nd UPR, Guyanese have undergone historical political changes including the election of a coalition government immediately following a 23-year rule of the Peoples Progressive Party/Civic political party. Political history marched on when on 21st December, 2018, the coalition government lost a vote of no-confidence at the 111th sitting of the National Assembly. Having fully employed the judicial system to define the Constitutional requirements as the political system entered unchartered waters, General Elections have now been fixed for 2nd March, 2020. 3. In the midst of the exciting political developments, Guyana has remained firm in its commitment to ensure the continued and progressive enjoyment and protection of citizens’ human rights.

    Navigating the complexities of Community Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (CMRV) By Benjamin Palmer Fry A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London /Imperial College London April 2014 Centre for Environmental Policy Imperial College London South Kensington London SW7 2AZ 1 Abstract Under REDD+, the UNFCCC’s financial tool for the preservation of the world’s tropical forests, the necessity to monitor performance as well as involve local people is made clear in the policy documentation. Community Monitoring Reporting and Verification (CMRV) combines these two policy needs to create a concept that delegates the responsibility of ground-level monitoring to local communities. This is a deeply complicated model to implement, balancing local, national, and international needs, incorporating divergent stakeholder opinions, as well as livelihood issues, political dynamics, natural resource management and systemic change. Within this field, I identified three research areas, namely how CMRV fits into the REDD+ MRV policy context, how local people might engage with social, or ‘wellbeing’ monitoring, and the sustainability of CMRV as a local and national institution. There are only a handful of CMRV projects occurring throughout the world, building on the foundations created by locally-based monitoring, and I have been involved in facilitating CMRV in the North Rupununi region of Guyana with traditional Makushi Amerindian communities. This provides the study site for a number of the research chapters. The thesis starts by reviewing how CMRV might synergise with REDD+, particularly looking at the pros and cons of using local people instead of professional scientists for monitoring tasks.
