President Dr. Irfaan Ali recently unveiled the PPP/C administration’s economic growth strategy for the next five years, emphasizing the importance of community wealth, regional development, and heightened national productivity.
The plan is primarily centered around fostering small businesses, enhancing agricultural capacity, and bolstering community enterprises, in conjunction with substantial investments in education and infrastructure.
Key elements of this comprehensive economic strategy include the assertion that, “We are not just investing in roads and ports—we are investing in people, in families, in dreams,” as stated by Dr. Ali.
Moreover, the initiative will focus on establishing agro-processing and cold storage facilities in each region, along with the expansion of the rice and sugar sectors, and support for community forestry groups. The President is committed to improving access from farms to markets, minimizing spoilage, and enhancing packaging facilities to uplift rural economies.
To strengthen these initiatives, there will be ongoing improvements to Guyana’s transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and regional ports, aimed at unlocking market potential and facilitating direct exports from the hinterlands.
Dr. Ali asserted, “This is how we move from growth to transformation,” highlighting the intention to ensure that this transformation benefits all communities across Guyana, including Charity, Lethem, Linden, and Albion.
