CI may facilitate flow of funds under Norway-Guyana forest partnership

Conservation International (CI)-Guyana is expected to once again facilitate the flow of funds from Guyana’s forests partnership with Norway for low carbon development consultations here.

“We have supplied the project concept to the Government of Norway for its review,” head of CI-Guyana, Dr David Singh told Stabroek News last week. He said that Guyana and Norway had asked CI to assist in facilitating the flow of funds for consultations and CI has formally written to Oslo indicating its collaboration with the Guyana government on this project. This came after the project could not be expedited through the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

“We are presently awaiting feedback from Norway to move forward,” Dr Singh said. He could not say whether the funds will be disbursed
