Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission Health Care for Guyana
Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission Health Care for Guyana 2017 REPORT FEBRUARY TRIP TO GUYANA 2017 was a very busy year for Canada-Guyana Outreach Mission (CanGO). In February, I traveled to Guyana to conclude some unfinished business with the Guyana Revenue Agency and to make dental arrangements for the children who will be having surgery in March 2018. At that time I took the opportunity to visit the Ministry of Public Health, the Diaspora Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister’s office where I discussed the many challenges we were experiencing while trying to organize the annual mission. VISIT WITH THE FIRST LADY The day before I returned to Canada, I was very fortunate to meet with the First Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger at State House. The First Lady mentioned her concerns about the Indigenous Peoples including: a) High rate of teen pregnancy b) High rate of HIV c) Teen mothers who do not know how to care for their children d) VIA testing (screening for cervical cancer) I reported CanGO’s accomplishments on previous missions and assured Mrs. Granger that we will continue VIA and STD (sexually transmitted diseases) testing in October 2017. AWARD FROM THE GUYANA CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK Members of CanGO were very honoured to accept the 2017 Guyana Cultural Association (GCA) Award in recognition of our community service in Guyana. Needless to say, we are very appreciative of the acknowledgement of our work with the Indigenous Peoples of Guyana. We’re also grateful to Cyril Bryan (who has been following us for many years) for nominating us for this prestigious award. -

______________________________________________________________________________ Distr. Limited LC/CAR/L.88 31 October 2006 Original: English GUYANA THE IMPACT ON SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS CAUSED BY THE DECEMBER 2005 – FEBRUARY 2006 FLOODING In collaboration with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation and Agriculture (IICA) ___________________ This document has been reproduced without formal editing i PREFACE This report was prepared at the request of the Government of Guyana following the rainfall from December 2005 until February 2006 and the subsequent flooding that affected, in particular, Regions 2 and 5. The implications of the flooding posed the need, beyond the immediate humanitarian response, for a rapid assessment of the damages (impacts of assets) and losses (effects on economic and social flows) to determine at the more general level the implications on macroeconomic and fiscal performance and the social and environmental consequences.1 More specifically, the document examines the effects of the impact for the sustainable livelihood of the affected households and provides possible strategic interventions serving as inputs for the development of programmes and projects to mitigate the impact of flooding on the affected population. The assessment was carried out following the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) disaster assessment methodology as elaborated in the Handbook for Estimating the Socio-economic and Environmental Effects of Disasters (ECLAC, 2004, www.eclac.cl/mexico). The results of the assessment were also interpreted within the context of a sustainable livelihood analysis (SLA) framework. The SLA framework combines the concept of sustainability understood as comprising of four elements (environmental, economic, social and institutional) with that of livelihoods which in turn refer to the capabilities, assets and activities required for a means of living. -
ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH North
Running head: ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs: Makushi Amerindians’ Perceptions of Environmental Education and Positive Youth Development in Guyana Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Presented to the Faculty of Education University of Ottawa 20 June 2016 Ph.D. Candidate: Julie Comber Director: Dr. Bernard W. 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. -

Sustainable Forestry Community Forestry
Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Guyana ER-PIN Guyana’s Emission Reduction Programme for Sustainable Forest Management Thirteenth Meeting of the Carbon Fund (CF13) Brussels October 13-16, 2015 Guyana ER-PIN ER Program Idea Background/Context • Guyana is a REDD+ country with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation. Even with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation there have been drivers of forest change that are impacting on forest cover, and specific drivers of which have shown increases over the past 4 years. • Guyana’s Emission Reduction Program Idea Note (ERPIN) proposes to maintain a low rate of forest change and at the same time, lower emissions where possible where such reductions can be attained through improved practices and enhanced efficiencies. • The proposed nation-wide ER-Program intends to avoid 27.98 MtCO2e/year from 2018 to 2025 through implementing activities and interventions preliminarily selected based on the impacts of the drivers defined by Guyana’s Measurement Reporting Verification System (MRVS). ER Programme lifetime is for 10 years, with ERs offered to Carbon Fund up to 2025. • From the results of the MRVS, it is clear that mining, and associated roads, is the largest emission source during the period 2001 to 2012, followed by timber harvesting activities. National policies and interventions within the ER Programme have been tailored to address these. • The general objective of the program is to promote sustainable natural resources and environmental management by facilitating coordinated remedial land reclamation interventions, aimed towards managing and combatting land and forest degradation from the activities within Guyana`s extractive sectors.
