USAID to close Guyana Mission in 2012

Mar 16, 2011 News

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced plans to close its Mission in Guyana in Fiscal Year 2012. According to a statement from the body, this move is part of its worldwide strategy, in a tight budgetary environment, to be more efficient in the management of its aid resources.
The statement added that the closing of the mission does not signal the end of USAID’s relationship with Guyana. It was noted that the United States Government, including USAID, will remain involved in working with the government and people of Guyana to respond to key development challenges.
USAID and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) manage the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) program in Guyana, which focuses on reducing HIV transmission, mitigating the impact of illness, and strengthening the public healthcare system.  Guyana will also continue to participate in and benefit from the U.S. Government’s regional citizen security program and the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI), focused on responding to the causes of crime and violence. The management of these programs will be transferred to USAID’s Caribbean Regional Mission in Barbados to take advantage of efficiencies of scale.
Just last week, the World Bank office in Guyana announced that its head will be moving to Jamaica.
