Just months before it is scheduled to end, the Amerindian Land Titling (ALT) project has managed to demarcate only a quarter of the 68 villages it was supposed to complete and the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples Affairs is seeking an extension of the US$10.7 million venture.
The project began in October 2013 under the former PPP/C administration and is due to end in October 2016. It is being funded by money earned under Guyana’s forest protection partnership with Norway and is being overseen by the United Nations Development Programme.
