    ______________________________________________________________________________ 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.

The clinic there is expected to cater to the thousands of residents in Region 5 and its environs. Chairman of Region 5 (Mahaica/ Berbice) Harrinarine Baldeo said the establishment of the center stands testimony of government’s commitment to the wellbeing and health of its citizens especially those of his region. The chairman said that the health sector in Region 5 has seen significant improvements over the years. According to recent statistics, there are now two district hospitals which function optimally, 17 health centers, and one health post at No. 28 Village. The newly built Rehab Center at the Mahaicony Diagnostic Center In addition to the new rehab center, the Mahaicony Diagnostic Center, offers clinics in chronic diseases and eye care. There are 24 medical personnel, among them Cuban doctors, stationed there as part of the Guyana/Cuba collaboration initiative by President Jagdeo in 2006. At Fort Wellington, the full service hospital there is staffed by four local doctors, assisted by nurses, who are trained to deal with from seizures to surgeries. The more serious cases are referred to Mahaicony or Georgetown. Before 1992, Mr. Baldeo said, this was hardly a possibility. Rosignol Health Center Throughout the region, there are four medex that staff health centers at Belladrum, Ithaca, Moraikobai and Woodley Park. There are also community health workers stationed at other clinics there. This, some residents say was not a situation that existed prior to 1992.
