Toshaos council asks IDB for meeting on forest carbon project

The National Toshaos Council (NTC) has asked the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for a meeting of all stakeholders in a forest carbon project to address allegations that have been made about its execution and the roles of the bank and the Government of Guyana.

A release from the NTC on Friday said that it has “formally submitted a request to the IDB for an independently facilitated meeting engaging all stakeholders to the (Forest Carbon Partnership Fund) FCPF project to clear up all issues – real and perceived – as it relates to the FCPF project, the IDB’s role, and the Government of Guyana’s role in the implementation of the project.”
