Donations to Venezuelan migrants must be done through CDC

Jan 15, 2019 News

 

The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) has noted that some individuals and organisations are donating items directly to Venezuelan migrants as opposed to the official mechanism established via the Department of Citizenship.
According to a government statement, the Department of Citizenship and the CDC established a Multi-Agency Stakeholder Committee to manage the government’s response to the influx of the Venezuelan migrants here and has a mandate to ensure humanitarian support is provided to all of those migrants.
“As such, the CDC was identified as the lone authorized agency responsible for coordinating and ensuring supplies are delivered to the Venezuelan migrants,” the statement said yesterday.
The Government of Guyana said it is calling on all persons, groups and /or organisations desirous of making donations to the Venezuelan migrants to channel their donations through the CDC.
“All contributed items are recorded and distributed to the migrants.”
Venezuela is currently experiencing major internal problems with skyrocketing inflation, food and basic shortages of supplies and political strife.
Thousands of Venezuelans have fled that neighbouring country in the last few months with over 4,000 of them reportedly here, the majority of them on the border area in Region One.
