Dr Henry Jeffrey now Executive Committee member of OICD

Mar 01, 2009 News

Former Minister of Foreign Trade, Dr Henry Jeffrey, is the latest member of the Executive Committee of the Organisation for Intra-Cultural Development (OICD).
The OICD is a not-for-profit organisation working to expand understanding of human identities, improve social cohesion, and reduce conflict through interdisciplinary research and its application and dissemination.
Among some of the activities of OICD are developing and monitoring innovative research on narrative, cultural identity, personhood, generational change and other areas relevant to identity studies and change; building curricula which highlight the mechanisms of identity formation for use in schools and universities; contributing anthropological approaches to training programmes in areas such as inter-cultural communication, diplomacy, and peace-building; establishing social and financial support networks and publishing outlets for work which attempts to make academic research on all aspects of identity highly accessible to the general public; consultancy/advisory services and engaging with governmental and non-governmental agencies to help to build multicultural and social cohesion programmes/policies, among others.
Dr Jeffrey officially demitted political office in Guyana on Old Year’s Day, following his resignation as a Minister of Government.
The former Minister of Foreign Trade cleared out his desk after he reportedly failed to conclude an agreement with Cabinet over his future.
He had indicated that he would not have been averse to accepting a posting as Guyana’s Ambassador to Suriname. That was not to be.
Dr Henry Benfield Jeffrey did his undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the United Kingdom.
Dr. Jeffrey has written several publications. These include Guyana: Politics, Economics & Society (1986), Problems of Development of Guyana (1991), and Sustainable Development in the Guianas.
