Canada to release $30M for Region 9’s cassava processing, farine storage

Jun 05, 2015 News

Canada has signaled its continued support to the new Government in a number of ongoing programmes.
The commitment was made as Canada’s High Commissioner to Guyana, Dr. Nicole Giles, met on Monday with the Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan.
Giles was accompanied by Carleen Langford, Foreign Policy and Diplomacy Officer and Krysta Bisnauth, Development Officer. Present at the meeting in addition to Minister Bulkan were Permanent Secretary, Emil McGarrell and Research Assistant, Mark Da Costa.
“High Commissioner Giles expressed the High Commission’s desire in working with the new administration to further advance Guyana’s development and the shared interests of both countries. Dr. Giles iterated Canada’s foreign policy focus, which is geared towards providing developmental assistance with the objective of creating sustainable economic growth.”
In particular, the Minister and his team were briefed on Canada’s current activities in the communities sector. Among these are the CARILED programme which has completed phase 1, catering for initiatives and interventions relating to economic activities and developments in Regions 2, 3, 4 and 6.
Other initiatives include two food security projects based in Region 9, where Canada will be providing over CDN $188,000 ($30M) to establish and maintain a modern cassava processing and farine storage facility, where Wowetta village is expected to process and store 10,000 pounds of farine.
“Similarly, Moco Moco Village in Central Rupununi, will be able to process and store 20,000 pounds of farine for use during and after disasters,” a Government statement said yesterday.
